Someone got leaves covered on her

I’ve added more detail and changed a bit since, but it still gets the point across.

Happy Halloween all.

Forgot I had this sneak peak I’ve been sharing around lately.

Won’t be too much longer until it’s fully done. Balancing wanting to work on it nonstop with college is tough but I’m working through it.

here’s the subject of my latest work in progress. Really close to being done, hope to have it finished within November

still alive

I'm already seeing centrists and leftists sniping at each other but the blame for this is 100% on the Republicans. This is what they do with power and it is imperative that we work together to keep them as far from it as possible, forever.

After further research I don’t quite know if it’s as true as the other one since there’s not really anything to back it up but the locomotive wiki does state this. Take that as you will

(Using a model picture instead bc it’s higher quality and captures more of the locomotive’s details)

What’s y’all’s most infuriating could-have-been preservation story for locomotives? Mine would definitely be the Baltimore & Ohio’s EM-1 Yellowstones

1 was set aside for preservation, sent to the breaker’s by an idiot

1 was offered to a West Virginian city; they ended up rejecting it

💔💔💔

I’m finding out so many obscure engines exist for the first time, that SAL articulate looks stunning

Happy Juneteenth folks

HAPPY 6/11 DAYYYY

Didn’t forget this year, ha

"Fake it till you make it" was terrible advice to spread, because now we live in a world of powerful "Fakes who made it" and we're suffering from the consequences.

Many have said it before, so I'll say it again:

Let's get this up to a Million Views. Show The Powers That Be that classic Thomas still has a "crown worth fighting for" ⭐

Lately this engine has become the sole thing I’ve researched in all my spare time

It’s such a fascinating failure of a prototype

If you see this post a monster

Just my luck that the soundtrack CD for this movie of all movies (which the ost is really good btw) is abhorrently expensive online

Anyways I bought a copy for 63 bucks, but it’s ok bc

1) I already made the money back so it’s like it never happened 👌
2) it usually goes for around/above 100 bucks

Haven’t seen you in a hot several months lol. Welcome back

Me!

Was just informed it’s the old girl’s birthday today

Happy 84th to possibly my favorite thing ever made

Still hope I can see her steamed up sometime

On this day in 1992 "All At Sea" premiered

This marked the first episode wrote by Britt Alcroft and David Mitton that wasn't an adaptation from the RWS or magazines. As well as the first episode where Thomas' bunker didn't have the red lining

Happy 33rd anniversary!

Celebrating the 80th late but right.

Happy 80th, you life-changing trains

Wait did I miss the official date of the 80th anniversary of Thomas

So this was very unexpected

What a way to kick off the 80th

Mount Rainier Scenic Railroad just lost their 28-foot (I think) trestle bridge to a fire. If you have a little to spare, please consider donating. If not, spreading the word is just as helpful

First time seeing it from the left side! Until now I actually never out any rods on her left side, which is why every single render showed her from the right

Sadly don’t have any motivation to start or resume anything new, but tonight I got a huge boost to rework some parts of 1118. As it stands I love about 80% of it. The firebox, cab size and trailing truck all bother me; all three will be changed.

As well as other details here and there

Quick life updates:

- got wisdom teeth removed
- grades in school are actually going up for once
- trying to make progress on a Lego locomotive

Need to use the app more, smh

Hope y’all are doing well, or alright at the very least

113 years ago today

Happy Trans Visibility Day everyone.

I’m not too good with words but I hope each and every one of you knows that you’re loved and valued very much.

Don’t let a bunch of lifeless hacks tell you otherwise
