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

I wanted Beatrice and Cora to match so I repainted her roof too.

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.

(Bonus) This project was a long time coming and I'm sad it's done. I'm also glad I had it done in time for today. I think James may be some of my best work so far. Once I get my hands on some more crew figures, he can really be a working engine again. Despite that he's still our splendid red engine.

The final touches were a new safety valve and whistle, a copper cap around the chimney and his iconic brass dome. I also added some pieces of cardboard to act as stepladders until I can make better ones. I took the standard face, glued it down and James was done. (5/5)

I went through and lined out the whole Loco. Its nothing too fancy, but it serves well. My fleet wears my take on a North Western logo, so James' 5 was moved to his cab sides. I found some card and cut a piece to fill the gap in the cab. I glued the backhead down and continued lining. (4/5)

After a few more coats of red, I painted the cab interior cream instead of the usual brown (to fit with the coaches). I painted up a little backhead to put in the cab. I was sort of torn between giving him all blue or all gold lining. As you can see, blue won out. (3/5)

After I patched a few gaps that the cardboard had, I primed the whole thing. Like Anna-Maria, I used white paint instead of purpose made primer. It may be cheap, but the end result makes it work. Before I put on the first few coats of red, I made sure all the pieces fit still (2/5)
