About Me
My name (in real life) is Zack. I'm some guy with an identity crisis; I'm born in the USA (specifically, California), yet I enjoy British culture. I'm also a boy, and yet I have a feminine side. I also have an account on FanFiction.net where I write my Thomas fan-series, The Railway Series Evolution. Other than writing my own stories and rewrites of episodes good and bad, I'm also a reviewer for my own blog, The Railfan Brony Blog, where I review not just Thomas and Friends material, but also My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic material as well (and yes, I am a Brony). Check it out any time you like! I'm also online on DevianArt, Sodor Island 3D Forums, Sodor Island Forums, FIMFiction, YouTube, Facebook, and possibly quite a few other websites, so I'm pretty much all over the place online.

As of April 25, 2015, I am the voice of Toad the brakevan for WildNorWester's Sodor: The Modern Years. I'm so excited to do Toad and look forward to hearing myself voice him for the first time.

In addition, I'm also the voices for Mr. Shale, 3284, and 1129 in Bram Groat's Thomas and the American Invasion. I've recorded my last set of lines and I look forward to how parts five and six will go.

I'm also making my own audio series based on the books called Thomas and Friends: The Railway Stories. The second audiobook, Thomas the Tank Engine, has been released today! Look out for James the Red Engine in sometime in June, hopefully by the 19th!

Thomas and Friends in General

 * Random Thought of Whenever: Do we really need a Sodor Dieselworks? If so, then why don't we have a Sodor Electricworks? Come to think of it, the inclusion of a Dieselworks is purely sectarianism, and it's like separating people by race in Alabama. In the 1950s! The Dieselworks should be torn up, the diesel shunters working there reallocated, and Diesel 10 working to clear away the lines.
