[He/Him] single 33 y/o fluff dragon who loves fatties, trains, Reshirams, and cars! 18+ NSFW fat art will be posted here! I will post lots of model train pics alongside NSFW art.

While Mauna's colors were unintentional, Trans Rights DO matter.
Pinned
Here are some epic and stylish pics of main OCs, as wonderfully illustrated by the talented @mageezles.bsky.social! This is the first time all four of my main OCs are drawn together! x3 We've got Mauna the fluff dragon, Jewel the husky, and the dueling dragonesses Jupiter and Elandra!
I anticipated a large crowd of members last Saturday for the annual club meeting, but practically none of them ran on the layout afterwards! I brought short trains for ease of running, including this train of vivid reefers and two cars custom painted by my father.

Warmup. I Was in a mood for a marshmallow reshiram all of the sudden

I sometimes forget that I don't need to run a stupidly long and sometimes troublesome train to enjoy running long trains. This is roughly the max allowable length during busy hours, and it still wow visitors! It also felt good running a solid train of Burlington Northern.

Happy New Years, y'all~! I have a duo of pics for this moment! The first one is an old, old (2015) pic by SaintDraconsis of Reshiram-Mauna doing the Gatsby toast. The second one is of Jewel and GravityInbound's Reshiram, Trisha, having a big kiss to ring-in the new year, by fathips!

Random kudos to the person(s) who went wild with festive energy, lighting up not only their home but also the huge tree on their property! I really like how they wrapped the trunk and the lower branches in lights, combined with the tiered rings going up to the star. Bravo!

Spotted last Saturday.

So-called "Legendary Pokemon" folding immediately under the crushing pressure of getting brushies from their trainer.

Good morning, y'all. I am hung over with a cold I caught from sharing a car with my sick father for 24 hours.

@justemockroach.bsky.social drew up an amazing Elandra recently and I want to share her with the world! I wanted to see one of my OCs in their style and I'm pleased with the result! Now then... y'all better watch out, because Elandra is big and ready to cause some destruction!

One last Christmas pic to share with y'all, a happy and festive Mauna blob as drawn by @felixd.bsky.social! Looks like someone has been a busy glutton, eating up all of the eggnog and cookies!

Well, it's almost Christmas, and it appears Jewel is up to something by the tree! Is she adding one last gift to the tree, or is she getting a head start and looking for her next box of chocolates? This wonderful piece was done by @bleatsheepdraws.bsky.social! Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

After two AnthroCons and some years of knowing each other, @dragonmamamax.bsky.social turned me on to the monobutt side, lol. Looks like Maxine may have spiked Mauna's eggnog with something to give him quite the monobutt! This beautiful piece of art was drawn by the lovely @shegnastar.bsky.social!

Gingerbread caribou, anyone ? Gosh WHAT A BLAST to work on him !! Meet the new character of my roster, Fig bon Peppermint, a big fancy caribou ! A jolly, and full of good manner (and food) guy ! I'll need to write a bit more about him in the future <3 But I'm already lovin' him.

shout out to @daender.bsky.social for the Elandra Commission! it was a pleasure to get to draw her!

Hehe! My beer can tank car finally rides the rails instead of being just a novelty on static display! There's one layout where something as big and awkward as this will run fine: around the Christmas tree! I swapped directions for tonight since I kept having derailments from running clockwise.

I know I had a good time at the train club a few days ago when all I have is a single video to share! I was having too much fun doing switching and running a candy train to take any photos or videos! My 0-8-0 came back to the layout for a day to organize some freight in the industrial area.

For the first time... actually this IS the first time I've had a HO scale steam locomotive pull a train around the Christmas tree at home! My little 0-8-0 engine, that's normally used for switching at the club, is celebrating its first Chirstmas (as an operating engine) at home. It sounds so good~

I've dragged my feet for 2 years on this project but it's finally done. This is a Walthers kit from 1978 that turns a beer can into a tank car! While it's not perfect... and it's actually too wide for the club layout, I'm glad to build and own this rare model train piece!
