[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.

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!

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!

@interurbanera.bsky.social do you know anyone who can reverse engineer an out of production kit? I'm planning on building this Walthers beer can tank car from 1978... but maybe someone may want to recreate this kit to work with modern cans. I also scanned the instructions for fun and preservation.

To my friends and followers planning on attending MFF, I highly recommend attending this! It's a blast and you'll be laughing or giggling the whole time! Maybe you'll get lucky, get picked to guess, and get a neat trophy!

Some train club photos from the last two weeks. I've taken it easy on long trains (for now) so I've been doing more switching and mainfest cargo scenarios. I finally own a steam engine, a little 0-8-0 that surprisingly hauls a lot more than it looks like. It's a fun thing to do switching with!

I found Geoffrey the giraffe yesterday at a train show held by my model train club. I ended up buying only one train item from the show... and it turns out it's a duplicate of one I already own! It was still cool to browse model trains and see lots of old Lionel, especially pre-war stuff!
