Figured I should post some photos of the Thomas & Friends props I own here. The chicken can be seen in the episodes "Bulgy Rides Again" and "Chickens to School", while the doves can be seen in the episode "Toby's New Shed".

Full color illustration of a purple, magenta and bright orange sky background with many white, glittering stars shining as a puffy white cloud with a railway track on top of it whips in front, with a small blue steam locomotive pulling three dark red box shaped railway cars behind it. The locomotive is Thomas the Tank Engine, who has cerulean blue paint, red striping, yellow window trim, black roof, six small blue wheels, a red running chassis, and a white running board with a headlamp. Smoke is coming out of his chimney. He's looking up at a figure - illustrated from the chest up - who's looking at the viewer. It is an artist's representation of Britt Allcroft, creator of the TV series adaptation of the Railway Series, Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends. Britt has dark blonde hair with red streaking, blue eyes, a red shirt with a black coat over it, and a silver necklace. Her name BRITT ALLCROFT is in capital sans-serif letters below her.

The attack at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney today was a vile act of antisemitic terror. I mourn those who were murdered and will be keeping their families, the Jewish community, and the Chabad movement in my prayers. May the memories of all those killed be a blessing. While we are still waiting for all the facts to emerge, what we already know is devastating. At least 11 dead, including Rabbi Eli Schlanger, who held deep ties to Crown Heights. At least 29 injured. Another Jewish community plunged into mourning and loss, a holiday of light so painfully reduced to a day of darkness. This attack is merely the latest, most horrifying iteration in a growing pattern of violence targeted at Jewish people across the world. Too many no longer feel safe to be themselves, to express their faith publicly, to worship in their synagogues without armed security stationed outside. What happened at Bondi is what many Jewish people fear will happen in their communities too. On Bondi Beach today, as men with long guns targeted innocents, another man ran towards the gunfire and disarmed a shooter. Tonight, as Jewish New Yorkers light menorahs and usher in a first night of Hanukkah clouded by grief, let us look to his example and confront hatred with the urgency and action it demands. When I am Mayor, I will work every day to keep Jewish New Yorkers safe—on our streets, our subways, at shul, in every moment of every day. Let this be a purpose shared by every New Yorker, and let us banish this horrific violence to the past.

She would've been 82 today. Happy birthday to the late Britt Allcroft. Thomas & Friends wouldn't have made it to TV without her. We still miss her lots. 🚂🎂🎁🎈🎉🎊

Hi folks! The day has finally come. All of the STS slides/negs/transparencies have been painstakingly scanned at 1200DPI for you to enjoy. It was a long and expensive process but I am thrilled to share them with you all. Special thanks to the project supporters!💖

Today is World AIDS Day, a day that reminds me of the decades-long fight for dignity, science, and compassion. We’ve come so far because activists, researchers, and communities refused to be ignored.
