Foreground: T Scale 3D models of Standard, Buffet, and Brake Mark 1 coaches in descending order (made by alexhondsmerk on Thingiverse) Background: A Southern Railway Bullied Coach scaled from Gauge 1 to HO Scale, originally split from three sections for ease of printing (made by Beusekomse Baan on Printables)

(2/2): ...files I can 3D print for a correct Mark 1 consist. I found some in T Scale for Standard, Brake, and Buffet coaches. I was originally going to substitute Mark 1s with the Southern Bullied coach in the background, but I'd rather be authentic. Still need to find interiors for the Mark 1s...

(1/2): I'm a little bummed out there's not a lot of British HO Scale stuff floating around. I got Lima Mark 1 Coaches which I thought were HO Scale, but they are OO instead. For the life of me I cannot intermix scales, as the correct size relative to scale matters to me. However, I did found some...

Yeeeaaah, that's all I needed to know, thank you

I don't have Twitter anymore

Wait, could I get context?

Primer…

I trust we all know what’s happening to the Hall at the back now

How'd you got the even coat? What spray pattern did you do, because when I do it, I get one side oversprayed

Walter Wick may have not been a model railroader in the usual sense.

But...

His set-ups for I Spy pics are peak model railroad concepts I loved as a kid.

That’s a spicy meatball

Further freight car livery shenanigans...

An N scale box car with graffiti that reads "ABOLISH ICE"

Tonight I did my first ever custom graffiti on one of my box cars. Did I do a good job?

I may redo it if I acquire some waterslide decal paper while the message is still relevant, but I think it's good enough for now.

🐈FUCK ICE🐈

When my shop opens in February, I will be including this sticker free with every order and will have it for sale with proceeds going to groups in my state that work with immigrants💖

*for me

That's what I get writing this at 4am

For context, the new Thomas reboot used AI to generate promo art for the show and its merchandise. While the official CGI renders look okay, body gesturing is back, and that plus the AI behind the scenes killed it. The concept art looked so much better, like how did they fucked it up?

I don't care about how good the new reboot is, I am not supporting it using AI.

A model train car painted into a rainbow flag scheme

The classic

Anytime! Been a long time follower since Twitter, and I don't wanna miss this opportunity :3

Had the honor to see the model in person! My train even past by it!

I'm interested! I always longed to have one, as you're such a great artist!

Three private owner wagons.

Private owner wagon for Live From The Works.

Private owner wagon for I.M. FOREMAN - SCRAP DEALER. There is a police box in the wagon surrounded by scrap metal pieces.

Private owner wagon for TORCHWOOD INSTITUTE - SCRATCHWOOD. There are two chained up Daleks inside, surrounded by wooden crates and metal oil drum.

I got some more wagons. I don't have a problem. What I have is a solution.

Mmm yes, the launch yourself and become helicopter move.

These images give a rather warm and cosy feeling, I must say.

📖 NEW images from the upcoming "Thomas's Brave Adventure" book have been found. 📖

Here’s Rosie’s full backstory for #STMY.

She was originally built as the prototype of the USATC S100 class, and was test-run in Bigg City port between 1941-1943. After her test runs, her sisters were built. She was shipped off to Europe with them to help with WW2. (1/8) #TTTE
