Was in the mood for finishing some projects. Had to cut a 4mm slice out of the No5 coach to get it past some encroaching scenery. Finished painting my two vans, one in the old paler livery and the second in the cheaper new livery. #OOn3 #OO12 #ModelTrains #ModelRailroading

26 | Bi | I post about things that interest me (mostly railways and TTTE)
And with that all of the wave 2 deluxes have hit Smyths! Now to just hope I can find the singles sometime soon
So what the hell was going on with Percy's smokebox saddle anyway?? Why is it a different design on both the die-cast and motorised toys? Why does the weird promo art have the slab underneath painted black but only sometimes?
Cracking into these vans to keep my painting going. Still a lot more left to do, but at least the basecoats are down now. #OOn3 #OO12 #ModelTrains #ModelRailroading
The fact people use the phrase "you can't put the genie back in the bottle for AI pissss me off because A: Genies offer some kind of benefit B: Most Genie stories end with it back in the bottle And C: ones that dont usually involve the Genie being a slimy trickster that fools and hurts the user.
The thought just dawned on me last night that the overuse of plastic in the Thomas 2026 die-cast range might be a result of The Tariffs and what do you fucking know
It's not a matter of "if" It's a matter of "when"
Long before they came to Sodor, Rosie and Bruno, were two peas in a pod. She'd always remind the other engines "Don't you leave behind, Bruno!" to which, he'd always appreciate. They'd often be called "The Red Rascals" with how cheeky they'd be to the other engines, as well! #TTTE

If Wilbert Awdry (the original author) were drawing Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends... Happy 81st Anniversary! #thomasthetankengine #thomasandfriends #therailwayseries #RWS81 #THOMAS81
You know you're experiencing peak when the Moon is involved
I got A Bumpy Ride on day one, and I adore it. It's got a very nice art style, and overall it's a nice cozy game to sit down and relax with. Comet's an adorable little engine too.
Nia enjoyed her life on the fat controllers railway. Some things were very new to her but many things were the same no matter where you were, trucks were one of them. "If you stop bumping I'll tell you stories from home" she told them & the curious trucks relucantly behaved.
"Thomas' Branch Line is important, and so is Edward's. They both bring in valuable traffic, but their track and bridges are not as strong as those on the Main."
“If you were good enough, maybe Thomas would still be alive” I’ve had an idea for a nightmare Thomas sequence for a while and TADC episode 8 (specifically Pomni’s nightmare sequence) gave me an idea so here we are. #TobiasandtheArcaneMerchant
Percy pulling a train but he calls the trucks Chat "Chat, can you push me past the board?" "Chat is this a backing signal?" "okay chat tell me when to stop" "CHAT!!"
Hello my favourite streamer is streaming my special interest what the fuck??
yikes, unfollowing her now. was a huge fan of her railtours, had no idea she was rude to Horwich
needed this bad boy for tidmouth chrstmas and some bonus filming [hence both tomy/twr compatable, need to make new station signage] but ill be damned i cooked.
Something interesting I haven't seen many people bring up about the new die-cast Toad is that the bluish-grey colour they've changed him to is seemingly based directly on the GWR's standard goods stock livery, rather than the BR-ish grey colour the TVS went with
Oh crap I forgot to post this on here yesterday like I meant to uhhh
