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.

Anyhoo, let's do it. Giveaway time! Just follow this account and repost this post for a chance to win a Cleatprint Plaque or 5,640 carats! 🥕 Details: umamusume.com/news/200010/ (It'd be a drag to list all the deets here, so just go read 'em on the site.) #GolshiWeek #Umamusume

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.

Lore accurate Taiki

@DaneTank656 This is amazing 🤣

So I commissioned @BCtheVA to cook and this is what they came up with.

@OGThomasFan I love seeing the insides/mechanisms of these models! Thank you for sharing 😌

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.

omg is that momozuru nene from hololive english #ねねアルバム

@DankEngine2005 @TMouseKingNeal Undergoing repair work within the Strasburg shops

@TMouseKingNeal Where is No. 15 again?

Well.... How we all feel about this?

@TMouseKingNeal This is just for the June DOTW, they are hoping by September the steam version will be ready

@BaronVonBlake TADC MENTION ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Usually cause I didn't wire it properly 🤣

-general cleaning/tune up -new traction tires -overhauled smoke units, all 3 were bad (not done by me, it was quicker to send them out to someone for full overhaul) -new LED bulbs for class lights - new 4014 number decal -Repaired pick up wires on front drive wheels

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.

@SOU_railman I said early on this was not gonna be a thing, doesn't surprise me in the slightest

When you procrastinate on a group project

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.

@Junkusan AHHHHHH CONGRATS 🥰
