  • Sprocket and Pinion Take Flight! - Gearoni Industriano, Part Two
    9 Oct 2026

    It doesn't take the ever creative sculptor, Mr Gagini, long to make good use of Sprocket and Pinion and they become part of his masterpiece Gearoni Industriano.

    However, sadly, his work of art was destined never to be acclaimed as such.

    After years of being passed around from the flower show, church jumble sale, an old antique shop window and finally the dust cart, Gearoni Industriano finally ended up being tossed unceremoniously into the river, almost sinking a passing canoist!

    You can only imagine Sprocket and Pinion's relief on finally finding sanctuary in Morris Wainwright's scrap box with Rusty and the others.

    The adventure continues, and this time Rusty Nail and her friends are finally on their way to the seaside! But their journey takes an unexpected turn when they discover that they aren't the only passengers in the luggage van. A mysterious stranger is up to no good, and the friends soon find themselves caught up in an extraordinary attempt to stop a very determined picture thief.

But their biggest adventure is still ahead of them. At last, they reach Clifftop Bay and stand together on the edge of the cliffs, looking out across the sea. Now they must find their way down to the beach and, perhaps, find somewhere to live. Will they find the beach hut they've been dreaming of? And what will their new life by the sea be like? Join Rusty Nail, Sprocket, Wingsey Nut, Young Pinion, Springaling, Peter Verny and the Two-faced Nut for the exciting conclusion to The Wind of Change. A story for children and grown-ups to enjoy together. 🎧 Listen, watch and share — and join Rusty Nail and her friends for their next adventure!

  • Flying Sausages and Pork Chops - Gearoni Industriano, Part One
    8 Oct 2026

    Before they became two of Rusty Nail's closest friends, Sprocket and Young Pinion had already lived extraordinary lives.

    Join Barry as he tells the remarkable tale of an old butcher's bicycle, a disastrous delivery with sausages and pork chops flying in every direction, an eccentric sculptor, and a mysterious work of art called Gearoni Industriano.

    It's a story packed with laughter, unlikely adventures and unexpected twists that begins many years before the friends ever arrived in Morris Wainwright's garden shed.

    A gentle, imaginative tale full of quirky characters, warm humour and the first part in the story of how two forgotten pieces of machinery discovered that every old thing still has a place in the world.
