Puffing Billy (My TTTE AU)

He is the sage of the railway and is an old, faithful little big engine, he was very brave once he backed up from a terrible landslide in 1953, which made his railway unfortunately close down, but when the days came, he, Cody, Alex, Melissa and Timmy get to run again, he is also good friends with Skarloey, Rheneas and Duke

DAY OUT WITH THOMAS PUFFING BILLY

Was very underwhelming, a post ⬇️⬇️⬇️

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I was going to the day out with Thomas event at puffing Billy today! And honestly I'll start off with saying it was good, but not exactly what they promised.

To start, 'James' was supposed to be the leading engine taking us on our 40 minute trip. 20 there and back. I was actually surprised to see it was actually just puffing Billy himself on his normal line with his usual faceplate. Unless you had the front or back carriage, you couldn't see the engine at all. And we got one of the middle ones. :'^)

Obviously the little kiddies couldn't care less but it made me go MMMmm something doesn't add up here. Still, puffing Billy is an absolutely fantastic engine and it was great to see him pull and then take us backwards. Going over the bridge was probably my favourite part of the whole day.

Thomas was completely stagnant for the whole day. I knew this was the case as the website and event detailed that he wouldn't be pulling. This made a lot of families and children upset so they intercommed that 'Thomas was having some problems and can't take them right now' was pretty funny

Oh god

They played the entire all engines go sing-alongs on speakers THE WHOLE TIME. No rws media rep, no tvs rep, just all engines go. If you're a fan of it you'd love it but it was painful.

WHERE'S DIESEL?????

Oh.

There he is??? In a poster???? I might've missed him if he was there earlier in the day but they never specified if he was going to be around all the time or not. Or PHYSICAL?? HAHDGSHSH

Sir Topham- uhhhh let's not talk about topham. I brought Toby to see him but honestly I think Toby would get extreme whiplash and cry

THEY MISNAMED MY MAN BERTIE

???? How dare you ??

Scrimbly bimblos 💗💗💗 they had a photo opportunity line but I just walked to the side to get photos of these trucks

Some photos of me in my custom handmade skirt and hair bow! Also toby

And finally! The man the myth the legend, THOVIS

He was cute I won't deny it but part of me wishes he was pulling the train. Speaking of the train I wanted to commit throw child off carriage one just kept screaming and random inputs and I was done

SO ALL IN ALL, not bad! But not terrific either. I'd like to go on one of the other versions of this day in a different country it might be better. They didn't even have the dowt wooden railway Thomas. Just four characters from the original series and that was it.

Today we had a great family day out; they're few and far between at the moment! Theo enjoyed heaps of activities, from painting to jumping castles, feeding animals and playing with large cushions that look like stones! And to top it all off, we got to ride Thomas The Tank Steam Engine!
