Fingers crossed fellow #modeltrain folks that I manage to have enough free hours this holiday season to actually finish working on either GE steeple #652 or Baldwin #440. Odds aren't too great seeing as how busy I am but it'd be nice to have one of these running around the ol' xmas tree.

At some point I'll need to make a top 10 best weathering I've seen online because there's many repeat "offenders" who are just so fantastic at their work I can't help but keep mentioning them time and again. Once again here's Tom Foster dropping yet another set of gorgeous #modeltrain pieces.

I promised more so here it is! I had ths GP9 sitting around for awhile and decided to work on it. After a bunch of oil, lubricant, and grease it came back to life. I hope everyone enjoys it!

Ah the perils of #modeltrain #3Dprinting where you wake up to an overnight 15 hour print and notice a slight heat shrinkage right at a transition layer and have to just chug along because steeple cabs be printin'. I'm sure that'll buff out 😭

Sometimes I see #modeltrain weathering so good that if it wasn't for the fingers i'd think it was real. I don't think I ever get bored by how good so many modelers are at making tiny thing look big.

I'm probably the only person who did a jib shot in a modeltrain video
Not only that, it was useless and done in the most janky way

In the same way that #ThomasTheTankEngine really raised the bar for Gauge 1 modeling in the 1980s Canada's Go Togo kids show has shown what's possible with modern #modeltrain DIY tech. In an incredible behind the scenes vid we see #3Dprinting make O scale come to life youtu.be/VEe3H5jtSco?...

Like my personal #modeltrain 'tism is focused on some 80/20 accuracy with the layout because I personally need a specific time period (1941) referenced because I have a bone to pick with America's car-centric pathology and I need some accuracy to make a very specific point about mass transit.

Been obsessed with these raised bed/platforms that blend the advantages of floor level garden #modeltrain layouts with the practicality of elevated workspaces. These are great examples from a layout in Melbourne.

Inside me there are two wolves: one that encourages people to make fantasy #modeltrain layouts that combine other hobbies like #anime and #warhammer40k to make cute fun #trains and the other that insists that I figure out the exact shade of a Sacramento Northern caboose in late 1941.

I was able to bring down my newly rebuilt Key Alco FA1/FB1 to the club for some laps. Here, they are passing by the Bethlehem Steel plant. Nice locomotives, took some time to rebuild, and still need a little work, but im happy with them.

Notch 8, dont be late!
I was able to bring down the PA's to the club tonight for their shakedown run. Quiet, smooth, powerful, everything you could ask for in a locomotive, all while pulling a nice sized passenger train.

Can't wait to bring them to the club for their test/shake down run.
