Hello, jenkins92 here, giving you my knowledge for various wikias. I will mainly be based at Thomas & Friends Wikia, but I will visit other wikias at anytime. I am a fan of many different phenomenons, particularly Thomas & Friends.

Highlights:

On Sunday 25th March 2012, I saw the SiF at the Severn Valley Railway, coming to see the railway's steam gala. I recognised Ryan, Loey Machan and Chris the Xelent straight away and I was absolutely amazed, I never thought I would spot them anywhere in my whole life. The amount of times I spotted them was amazing: first I spotted Ryan at Arley, next I saw most of the group miss the train I was on out of Bridgnorth, then I saw Chris the Xelent at Bewdley, photographing the train as passed by. They eventually got back to Kidderminster, later than they had hoped of course, but I never expected to see them cross the road in front of our car as we drove out of the car park. To Ryan, Chris the Xelent and the rest of the Sodor Island Forum who went to the Severn Valley Railway's steam gala, thank you making me such a happy day indeed.

On Friday 27th April 2012, I went to Stroud, Gloucestershire and paid a kind of pilgrimage to place where the Reverend Awdry lived from 1965 to the end of his life in 1997, of which you have probably seem in the Bookmark profile of the "Thomas the Tank Engine" man which was first broadcast celebrate Thomas' 50th Anniversary and then repeated to commemorate the passing of Wilbert Awdry. Of course, having no longer been the property of the Reverend Awdry for 15 years, some parts of the have changed over the years: the garden at the front of the house has been dug up (one half has had the wall removed and been filled with tar mac for a drive way and the other half is has been replaced with stones), the front gate has been removed, the front door has been replaced with a red wooden one with brass handles and the word SODOR has been removed from the window sill at the side of the door, but the plague with house number and the letters LMS still remain as I remember them. For obvious reasons I don't know what is actually inside the house now.

On Monday 14th May 2012, I went to Reading and discovered the house where the composer of "Thomas & Friends" (season 8 onwards) Robert Hartshorne lives. Passing by, I think I may have seen a silhouette of the man himself, going by his profile picture on ECG.com; he seeming to be moving about quite a bit, but whether the odd hand movements I saw were supposed to be practisings for the conducting his latest compositions I couldn't say.
