Well, that's unfortunate... Bachmann no longer appears to sell their BnB chassis. I used them as the basis for 3 of my models, and once for a commission. Sure, I cut them down a lot and had to make a new motor housing, but still. They were very compact, and while not perfect, I liked them.

Picked this up the other day! Keep telling myself to start that one model, then I could recreate that one scene with my track.

Both nations have great locomotives. they're designed to fit their nations' needs. American locos were built for long-distance travel and easy maintenance on the field. British engines travel shorter distances, many working on shorter lines. they also look more fancy and classic. both are great

Hey Nerd, have you got any silly ideas for models?
One, the chassis would be easy. I've done it, what, 4 times already.
No,
What is it, Crafty?
No, don't hack another BnB model.
We'll see.

Just finished modding one of my GameBoy Advanced SPs to have an Audio Jack and a USB-C charging port. There are no specialty parts outside of modifying a USB-C board.
Now for a fill peice.

A quick late-night painting. Wanted to paint my small NRM Diesel loco prints. These were scaled down to match my Mexican Train prints I also painted. So ya, these are small.

My mom found a photo of me with my FIRST train set from 1999~2000. It was the James Goes Buzz Buzz set that came with a Buzz Buzz James and Boco. I still have them. Both show a lot of edgewear, and james no longer has his red nose.

A friend got me ATLA Imbalance for my B-day. My collection of the series is complete. But NGL, the cut-off at The Promise, feels off considering the last one.

My brother and his fiance set up the tree a bit early this year. You can guess my request for the tree.
Chose to run a few less frequently ran items.
