These editable nameboards have now been released on my website. You'll find them in the 'Other Assets' section. There are three sizes, each with two versions: a track object and a scenery object that can be placed next to the track. #TTTE #STMY

Three wooden boards, painted green and white, are on top of train tracks. They are leaning back at an angle and have the words 'Standard', 'Skarloey' and 'Arlesdale' written on each of them.

There's something I've been wanting to do for years, and now I've finally been able to work it into #STMY. The first two episodes of season 3 are a two-parter, and so I'm doing them as one video, with a nameboard sequence linking them. Here's some (not all) of the nameboard shots. #TTTE

A LNER C1 with a Thomas-style face is surrounded by a crowd. She is smiling. There is a nameboard in front of her saying 'Alice'.An Austerity 0-6-0 with a Thomas-style face is surrounded by a crowd. He is smiling. There is a nameboard in front of him saying 'Sheffield'.A woman with blonde hair wearing a business suit is standing in front of a pile of coal.A small Garratt-type locomotive with a Thomas-style face is surrounded by a crowd. H is smiling. There is a nameboard in front of him saying 'Rowan'.

A 'turn' is a short train that leaves a yard, delivers trucks, picks up others and returns to the yard it departed from. In this photo taken at Barrow-in-Furness, we see NWR S4, Paxton, leaving with a turn for Crovans' Gate while NWR S3, Sidney, shunts the yard. #TTTE #STMY

Further information. Janet is a LNER K2, one from the Scottish region, with an extra window cab. When her class were being withdrawn, her crew hid her in a barn. Decades later, when British Rail was disbanded, they contacted the Fat Controller about restoring her. #STMY #TTTE

This is Janet, a new character who'll be introduced in #STMY. She's based at Barrow along with Neville and Caden, and is the NWR's current no. 11. I'm using Bandicam to record my modelling of her, and will be doing a multi-part video series showing my techniques for modelmaking. #TTTE

A 3D render of a LNER K2 class 2-6-0 steam locomotive. It is a work in progress and missing details along the chassis.

#STMY Season 3 was originally going to be 9 episodes long. It'll now be 13. I may need to do another casting call for the extra 4 episodes. (Including a reworked 'Harbour Engines') As for why an odd number, it's because season 2 finished on an odd number and this will get it back to even. #ttte
