Following up on my favourite episode of this series (coincidentally the pilot), we move from Thompson's own design of 6ft2in Pacific locomotive to his solitary 6ft8in Pacific. And I say "his" Pacific because other than some wheels, this locomotive is NOT the 1922 engine known as 1470 'Great Northern'. This locomotive has been on the short end of the stick as far as historical discourse considering the unwarranted hostility towards it's Chief Engineer, and I wish to put that right!

Happy Halloween, mortals!
Tales tell of a haunted mansion deep in the muirs, occupied only by terrible monsters. Those who do find it, have no memories of the place... So where do the stories come from I wonder?
Well, there is indeed an old manor somewhere in those woods, but thats just the home of the local alchemist, Cara Drummond. They would not spread such tales about her, would they?
Ever since I started designing a roster of my own characters, these types of animations were always what I wanted to end up doing. The end result of all the art pieces and models I have commissioned over the years, will all culminate into this.
This video has been quite a journey for me. I started work on it in May 2025, after having looked for voice talent to bring my characters to life, but sadly, SFM disagreed with my system so I had to shelve the project until August. Happily, I could tinker away at it for the coming months, with only minor hiccups between the recommencing of the project to uploading. Including quite a lot of faffing with the audio!
But, enough of my waffling, Ive been typing this for longer than the animations runtime already. I hope you enjoy my efforts, and I can only with youll be there for whats to come :)

Ever since an embarrassing encounter with a heard of ovines, the Engineer has become a laughing stock of the BLUs Railroad Company, Eastern Rail. He finds his escape in Dungeons & Dragons, but one Players Handbook left him with more than he bargained for...
After so many people expressed their enjoyment of the Remastered Sheep On The Line, I thought it would be only right to make a spiritual sequel. I therefor come at you with what is most definitely my grandest animation project yet, carried by a familiar face. 30 FPS, lowest blur settings, I do hope you enjoy this chapter in the Mann Co Railroad playlist too!
