My entries for @kumatajdg.bsky.social and @thearttrain.bsky.social #RWS80thCollab Book 32 - Toby, Trucks and Trouble. 1. Mavis and the Lorry. Click ALT for extra context from the story. Look for the rest below 👇.

"I didn't push him over," she cried in alarm.
Her driver laughed and jumped down.
"No one's blaming you," he said, "but I hope the lorry driver is all right."
The lorry's right-hand door was dcep in the ditch, but now a figure could be seen struggling to climb out at the other side. Mavis's driver went to help.
"Is that a train?" the man demanded.
"It certainly is," laughed Mavis's driver. "You
must be new here, not to have seen us before."

I did not have much time for the #RWS80thCollab sadly, so I was only able to do drawings; so why not all four stories from Book 7: Toby the Tram Engine!:D

Here's my entry for the #RWS80thCollab! I was assigned Book 4 - Tank Engine Thomas Again, and so I decided to illustrate the passage of text that mentions James on Thomas' Branch line during Thomas' race with Bertie. #RWS80 #TheRailwaySeries

Thomas takes on water at Elsbridge station. James is on the opposite line, rattling through with a goods train.

Happy 80th anniversary to the Railway Series! Here's my entry for our #RWS80thCollab to celebrate; I was assigned RWS book #11, Percy the Small Engine. I thought it would be fun to depict Duck in the BR black livery he canonically arrived in 😁 #TheRailwaySeries #RWS80

Duck Takes Charge by KumataJDG

"Beg pardon, Sir, but I'm a Great Western Engine. We do our work without Fuss; but we are not ordered about by other engines. You, Sir, are our Controller. We will of course move if you order us; but, begging your pardon, Sir, Percy and I would be glad if you would inform these - er- engines, that we only take orders from you." - Percy the Small Engine, 1956
