My last post was regarding the Rocky Mountain Railroad "Cinders" locomotive model im currently making, looking at the book again it seems there was at some point a website between 2003-2005, looking on the way back machine, it does indeed show a website, but no images sadly.

I ordered a wagon top 3D printed boiler a new cab, and comissioned @Thomasmodeller1 to make 3 custom faces (based on the book illustrations) I got as far as painting Cinders, then she was sidelined due to the amount of commission work i took in! I will now finish her ☺️

Finally starting on this project again, a on30 custom locomotive based on the character "Cinders" from this Children's book "Rocky Mountain Railroad". I shared this back in 2022 and started on a model in 2023, but it was sidelined for other comission work.

For this who don't know, this is a cute little story based around 1880s Colorado Narrow gauge railroads, with anthropomorphized locomotives (Like Thomas) I found the book in a thrift shop and adored it! I happen to have a junker bachmann on30 2-6-0 on hand.

Here is more of the Peter Sam prop disassembled showing the interior of the body, chassis, & motor setup. The paint is original, the body matted during the HIT era but the pistons remain in gloss as the body was separated from the chassis during the later series refurbishment.

Overhauled this Lionel Visionline Big Boy for a friend, previous owner did not take good care of it, so I was asked to perform work on it. After work was done I brought the loco to my club for testing, as it's too big for my layout.

Started building the hull for the Dumas Tugboat kit, I did crack a few boards (which were later repaired) my twin brother suggested to soak the wood first, then apply, this made a huge difference. After all this is done, wood filler will be added, then a layer of fiberglass.
