This reminded me a lot of Diesel 10’s Pinchy. Guarding the park I went to. Didnt scare me though.

I, alongside many others who grew up with the original TV series as a kid, found out about the passing of Britt Allcroft. The creator of the TV series that I watched growing up.
Rest in peace, Britt Allcroft. Thank you for all the memories you have given me. 🚂😔

It’s times like this when I think of one of her favorite moments of the classic series, the ending of the episode All At Sea.
It looks like she’s beyond the horizon now, and only the warm memories of her work remain.

I wanted to create something, something.

I made a short story blurb in the alt text.

R.I.P Hilary Mary "Britt" Allcroft 1943-2024, may she rest in peace.

#BrittAllcroft #ThomasTheTankEngine #RailwaySeries

"It was morning when he found out. We knew keeping the information would only hurt him more. He barely knew her, but was deeply thankful to her. The crews couldn't barely even build up steam in him. All he did was make his way to the harbor, to look out at sea. Percy and Toby understood how he felt, after all, this had all happened before. They stayed by his side as much as they could, as he just looked out to the vast emptiness of the sea, lost in his own thoughts."

🥳 🎉Happy Birthday to #BrittAllcroft !! 🎉🥳
The creator of the #ThomastheTankEngine TV series and the 2000 film, Thomas and the Magic Railroad!!
Without Britt bringing the Rev. W. Awdry's RWS Books to life, I wouldn't have had my childhood.
Happiest of Birthdays to you!!

Today is a sad day for Thomas the Tank Engine. Why? Because the creator of his own show, Britt Allcroft has passed away at the age of 81.

Britt Allcroft, the creator of “Thomas & Friends” sadly passed away at the age of 81.

Facebook post by The Rise and Fall of Nickelodeon
“RIP to Britt Allcroft, the creator of "Thomas & Friends", who has sadly passed away at the age of 81. To say she was a legend is an understatement. Thank you for everything you gave us, and you will never be forgotten.”
A picture of Britt smiling who is white with short amber blonde hair wearing a long sleeve v neck top with her arm resting on the lens of a large black and white “Panavision” camera that also has her name on it in front of a blue wall. Collaged with a picture below it of Thomas the Engine looking sad, likely a still from the show. Thomas is a 3D character, a blue tank engine with a yellow 1 on his side, some red lines accenting the shapes on his engine, yellow accenting details, his “head” being black around the sides with a pole coming out of his head and a white face with small black eyebrows and black pupils on large white eyes.

Here's a fanart I made back in January of Lady The Lost Engine as a tribute to Britt Allcroft. All I want to say is thank you, Britt for creating our childhoods with our favorite blue tank engine. Thank you, forever...
