Real picture from the original Thomas the Tank Engine books (Stepney the Bluebell Engine maybe? Can't remember)

Note the sentient engines are about to be scrapped. One has already had its FACE REMOVED. https://twitter.com/commaficionado/status/1260676647923187712
It's brilliant artwork by the supremely talented Gunvor Edwards (right) who illustrated loads of the orihinal series. Her atmospheric style was always my favourite.
Check out the storm here, as Culdee the mountain engine fights up Devil's Back.
Poor Edward here - the artwork is bloody brilliant though.
Strpney with three threatening diesels. Yep, her artwork on the railway series aas just brilliant.
This is what we call a 'niche thread'...
More! Henry rescues Bear here, despite being broken down himself. Look at the perspective and the wonderful faint backdrop.
This is from 'Ghost Train' which became *that episode* of thd TV show. The glow of Percy's fire on the grass and the lights of the distant farmhouse - *chefs kiss*
The colours!
Look at the lush countryside. Falcon, Duke and Stuart.
