Heyo, Welcome to my silly account!
I make silly doodles of trains, the occasional sentient evil TV, and make crummy memes.

An introductory post?
Don’t mind if I do!
Here’s some things I do in my free time, mostly ranging from Gmod Trainbuild to doodling silly sad guys with issues and evil sentient TVs with alterier motives, I have plenty of fun with friends and on my own time as well
Enjoy looking around my account!

Been a minute huh?
I’ve been working on my first kitbash project!
Took a Bachmann new tooling 4-4-0 and fancied it up to be a modernized hob goblin.
I plan on priming it up tomorrow for decals and lettering with a final paint scheme.

The mass rebuilding also introduced a larger sand dome, the installation of Automatic Train Control (ATC), and steam heat lines.
This brought the heavy mike fleet up to dual service standards, and they were seen both powering freight and passengers until retirement in 1958. (Part 4)

In 1934, the PH&E did mass shopping on the MK-4's, and subsequently re-equipped them with coil type feed water heaters instead of the previous bundle.
The coil was a better overall design, with only two coils instead of fifteen bundles. They were easier to wash and service. (Part 3)

However, with about a decade of service under their belts, the MK-4's were getting a bit long in the tooth for the PH&E in terms of cost.
The Elesco bundle, while international, had some serious design limitations such as fragile internals and mineral scale. Something needed to change. (Part 2)

A little bit more lore for today:
The PH&E was no stranger to modern motive power, having one of the most modern fleets of locomotives in North America.
In 1924, they ordered a batch of heavy Mikados, classed MK-4. These workhorses would serve the PH&E until the very end. (Part 1)

Been silent for a hot second, I have been cooking up a lot of things all in a short amount of time, expect a flood of equipment in the next few days.
In the meantime, have this second-hand PH&E MT-2.

A *spectacular* resource for being able to model the 1920's accurately. The 20's remains one of the most fascinating (and drastically under-modeled) decades. Give it a look, it'll be easier than you think to build out a fleet.

So recently I’ve been rewatching some of @interurbanera.bsky.social’s videos and his various “Joy of Kitbashing” videos inspired me!
It’s not the best work for a first attempt at model modification, but it’s a start and a leap headfirst into improving my modeling skills!
