Crazy Ass Moments in Railroad History

Imagine the Pentrex narrator voicing over the most inappropriate videos in THAT voice. Footage of tragic disasters, sex tapes, court proceedings, funerals, etc. All in the Pentrex voice.

I feel like my cheesy Valentines day card idea is "we could be lovers secluded in a compartment coach in the late Victorian era behind a steam train in Britain 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨" (thanks Rapido UK for that brain worm 🤣)

That Peggy Hill is awesome!

*divining? Not diving. You know. Divination stuff. Not SCUBA. 🤣

Archeologist in the year 3026: "The Superb Owl was a diving ritual used by the railroad industry to determine their ritualistic colors for the following year."

A modified photo of the Union Pacific's "Experience the Union Pacific" exhibition car, which now reads "EAT THE ONION".

I made this a long time ago and I think people here will appreciate it.

Colored pencil sketches of Minerva Mink in a blue jumpsuit.

Another stab at a 1970's Minerva Mink. Surely she's the biggest groupie of the Laurel Canyon troubadours. A fiend of the disco halls. She can groove like no other, and is the life of the party.

Just don't ask what she's planning to do with all those plaster casting supplies. 🫣 #furryart

Got to get that "Disney villain henchman" look like any good dog's underbite.

You know what both remind me of Hollywood and Werewolves? "Moon Over Minerva" and "Werewolves of London"! (This made a lot more sense in my head, would probably come out better if my mink was more on-model). #furryart

I'm less of a "date 1 kisser" guy and prefer my romantic stories to be about socially awkward guys pining after a woman for a decade in such a slow burn... that the film cuts the plot entirely (will duel for her after the 1st date though). 🤣

But you do you I guess.

"My model railroad ideas are unique."

My desire to do a 1970's layout like everyone else because Walthers does this kit based on Randy's...

Street running? Oh be still my heart. 🥳

Let me just direct you to @rapidotrains.co.uk and cry for your wallet.

You can give a mouse a locomotive, but then he'll ask for a matching fleet of Evolution coaches... 🤪

Jokes on you its not GE... its Wabtec.

* The first train set
* The first weathered car
* The narrow gauge experimentation
* Unfinished modular
* Taste of N scale
* The OO scale importing
* Surrender to the wide cab diesel

What's next? The embrace of three-rail? 🤣

When you finally pass the right of passage of a model railroader and break down and buy a ScaleTrains model of a GE/Wabtec wide cab diesel:

You know this is a morose enough piece, I had to dig through my old pictures and find something more cheery. From 2024:

I'd like to go to Amherst someday, but I gotta live vicariously through others. I wonder if any announcements will be exciting this year?

Yep, it's January.

We can hope. 🤣

(Dear lord in the next life make me into Richard Conrad the Raccoon living in Cincinnati, Ohio browsing the computer through Usenet being set up with this skunk from Columbus in the 1990's, I have seen what you have done for others you can do it for me 🤣)

Commission for @assrailroad.bsky.social
thanks a lot for commissioning me and for your constant support!

How "we voted for him because we thought he'd fix the cost of living" MF'ers be looking in 2027 bleeding out at the Battle of Paamiut (they stepped on a Danish caltrop [LEGO brick]).

"What do you mean it's only been about a week since that woman got shot? That feels like ten years ago now..."

I know model trains are a small thing in *gestures at everything else* but for fucks sake impeach the bastard already.

Minerva Mink (well half the Animaniacs/P&tB cast really; Warner Siblings, Slappy, Pinky, Brain, Julie, etc.) But the fan boy in me has to go straight to Minerva.

Also Facebook now: AI generated Snoopy looking cute and riding on a dog house that as it goes longer gradually morphs into a formless eldritch horror as Snoopy grows three more arms. Has a million views for some reason.

I second Sabrina, absolute icon. 🙌
