I have been dabbling in model trains more and more, so I figured I'd post my stuff somewhere that isn't Twitter.

To celebrate the 80th, here is my model of the most splendid red engine you ever did see. I took a stock standard James and slightly modified him. I thought about some of the issues I had with TVS James and went about fixing things. I also added a neat little tender cab to make him unique. (1/5)
This static model was sort of an impulse make. Eventually I will get a chassis to put under her but until then, this is my static model of Dolgoch. The Old Lady is a welcome addition to my growing narrow gauge clan

Here’s my take on Proteus. He’s another static model for now, but I am going to motorize him eventually. He’s sitting on a dummy 109 chassis rn so that might be what I go with.

He probably should’ve cared more about a few spills

It's high time I made more stuff for the narrow gauge clan. I made and printed my own Beatrice files and everything.

I also revamped Anna-Maria too. She keeps her same color, but I added a few details. Her lining is a bit more vibrant now too. Part of me wants to weather her since she's a more industrial engine, but she looks so smart it has me thinking twice.

I decided my Thomas should look a tad more traditional this time around. Still put my own flair on it mind you.

I've been experimenting with making OO9 buffers and realized Cora is painted in a darker shade of blue than she should be in that condition. She's going in for a repaint into a more SKR esque livery. I might also paint Millie similar to how she is in the show.

So I've been on a Buried Truck fix for a bit so here's a model I whipped up kinda fast - Ethel. She's only a static model for now but I'm sure there's some way to do it

I changed Toby's livery a bit and also completely overhauled Henrietta. I didn't want to be basic and just use the Bachmann one so she's put together with a bunch of parts I had spare.

80 years ago today, Wilbert Awdry's Railway Series books began their life. Both author and books went on to inspire generations of children to love railways as much as he did. Happy birthday to the RWS, and thank you to the good Reverend for making our younger days more colorful and bright.
