May 2023 update
Hello everyone! April just flew by and I totally forgot about the monthly updates. I guess that's life, huh? Anyways, I'm still active here and plenty of news to catch up on so here's the latest from Adventures on Rails.
- So, as I had planned, starting on Easter Sunday, three new stories were releasing in the following weeks which were A Better View for Gordon which kickstarted the Kirk Ronan saga featuring new friends Cathy and Deborah. The episodes following were Trial and Error and just recently Catch of the Day. I am very pleased with how this worked out. I had originally planned for another episode featuring Gordon on the Kirk Ronan Branch Line, but after some thought, I decided I should really use these episodes to showcase the new cha…
March 2023 update
Hello everyone. It's probably the coldest start to the March that I've seen in semi-lengthy life but still here I am to bring all the latest Adventures on Rails updates, so let's get to it!
- I'll start by re-capping last month's stories which included Museum Visit and Maintenance. Both stories were very fun to write so I hope you enjoyed them. I particularly liked giving both Diesel and Paxton a starring role in the latter. On the other hand, I finally had the chance to include Tornado in the series. I really don't know why, but I really wanted to feature her, so I'm glad I was able to do it during Gordon's railtour after my original plan for Visiting Engines fell through. As always, there's a time and place for everything, so I did get to d…
February 2023 update
Hello everyone. We've moved on from a seemingly long month to the shortest month of the year which looks to be very busy for me. Therefore, time for an update on what's come from Adventures on Rails.
- In January, I released three stories which were The Job, Railway Ties, and The Loop. These give us an insight on the progress of both the restoration of the Kirk Ronan Branch Line and Gordon's railtour. I did a fair amount of research on routes that the railtour would take and when I came across the location featured in The Loop, I just knew I had to make a story of that. In the end, that is what caused a slight shuffle in the release schedule. Two other stories were dropped in favour on this one and one due for release in November. That way, I …
January 2023 update
Happy New Year everyone! 2022 was full of twists and turns but I'm very much looking forward to 2023 which seems to have a lot in store. That being said, here's all the latest news for Adventures on Rails. I've a lot to say so let's get started.
- First off, volume five is officially on the way. I plan to release twenty-six stories throughout the course of the year. Originally, I wanted to start it on 15 January however, I am going to be busy that day, so I'm sure if I'll have the time to release anything. Sundays can be very busy for me and I end up with only a couple hours to spare. Therefore, in order to alleviate any extra work, I will be starting volume five on Saturday 14 January. Yes, you read that right, the first story will be releas…
Updates as of December 2022
Hello everyone. We're now in the final stretch of 2022 which has certainly been a wild ride. So, let's keep moving forward and see what else awaits from Adventures on Rails.
- In November, I released Percy and the Level crossings and Daisy and the Carollers. I think that with the reveal of Percy's Gauge 1 model, it was more than appropriate to have many Percy stories this year. He's certainly a fun character to write for. The following story was actually an idea I had for volume two but I just didn't get around to it. If I remember correctly, the expansion of the Norramby Branch Line is what caused that story to be shelved, but not anymore! I released it this past Sunday which seems a bit too early for Christmas, but again, I have to get a he…
