I'm not talking about new builds, I'm talking about 00 models

Its probably only a matter of time before we see an unrebuilt Claud or a T26, or if we're very lucky the 209 piano tank!

For this #ThrowbackThursday we have a very rare photo of GSWR 99, fresh out of the box at Inchicore Works, Dublin. 99 was built in 1890 and worked on the on the Fermoy-Mitchelstown branch in Cork, before being scrapped in 1930. You can just about see that it has two whistles on top of the cab.

My favourite joke from Oh Mr Porter (I can only assume its an intentional joke)
This man wants to take a train to Ballybunnion, the movie is from 1937, Ballybunnion hadn't had a station in over a decade at this point since the monorail closed in 1924!

No, his medical records survive and nowhere is colourlindness mentioned, also nobody ever historically referred to it as green

Its a little known fact that there is actually zero historical reference to that livery ever being called green, it was always just called yellow livery

A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

Just a thought, Ive had these 3d print police box files in 1/152, 1/76 and 1/43.5 scale for a long while and never done anything with them, would anyone be interested in buying prints?

alright update Tenth Planet 4 and Web 3 do NOT make me a philistine since David Tennant agrees XD

purely hypothetically...
Masterplan 12, Massacre 4, Power 1-6, Macra Terror 1-4, Savages 4, Myth Makers 1, Mission to the Unknown, Tenth Planet 4, Web of Fear 3
(yes I know those last 2 make me a philistine, I just want to see some cracking stories completed!)

🧵I've posted them before, but here's my thread of horror/kids' TV double-bill cinema posters. Happy Halloween...

up to some shenanigans

Considered to be provisionally sold, thanks all for the reposts

32mm gauge, standard boiler and safety valve, dumb buffers fitted by previous owner, new water glass fitted by me, some charring to the paint on the boiler as you would expect, overall a very tidy engine, good starter engine into the world of live steam for the right person

Due to the recent unexpected purchase of the Lady Anne, I cant reasonably afford to keep 3 live steam locos so the MSS is for sale, looking for £200 or 250 euros plus postage, these are £275 new and Gas firing, which this has, is £80 on top of that, DM is open

Im currently working on the same thing, in the background between other projects, itll be a conversion kit for the hornby version

A true chad that appreciates the later rebuilt Rocket I see

This organisation have found the earliest film appearance of Oliver Hardy, missing Doctor Whos, and countless other rare and priceless films, if you can I'd highly encourage you to donate, in fact, every kit you buy from my designs through @oakhillworks.co.uk in October will go towards them

Anyone know about radio controlling live steam locos? This newbie has some queries; can I pair a new transmitter with an existing receiver etc? Will one transmitter do for multiple locos or do I need one for each? What brand or model would you recommend? Thanks

We had quite an array of surprise samples at Railex last month. So, we thought we would recap what was on show throughout this week, just in case you missed the event.
Let's kick it off the same way we started our epic announcements, with this wicked 3D print of the HR Loch Class.

ooh shes rather a wonderful thing!

Any idea when exactly this one would have been made? its older than I first thought because in Mark Founds The Garden Railway (made in what? 2001?) they show one thats clearly newer generation than this one!

On the anniversary of The Battle of Cable Street, let us remember that the Daily Mail was cheering on Fascists then and continues that proud tradition today.
