Got my Henrietta looking smart, and I even built Elsie to go with her. Toby's definitely seen better days though...

I have been dabbling in model trains more and more, so I figured I'd post my stuff somewhere that isn't Twitter.
I posted this over on instagram already, but here’s a thread of all the Wooden Railway customs I’ve done. These guys were kind of my thing before I had the money for actual models. (1/?)
Here’s my model of Duke. The small Englands come apart easy so painting was a breeze. Can’t wait to run him on a permanent layout.
Ok hopefully this is the last time I mod Anna-Maria for a while (also Percy finally appears on this page)
Been on a bit of a roll with the narrow gauge clan
I’m finally locking in with 3D designs. I made myself a Thingiverse page to share some of my designs. www.thingiverse.com/Desktop_Sodo...

I had this idea to take Lady and make her more proportionate, so this is what I came up with. I’m not an engineer so I don’t know how well it would work but it looks good to me and that’s enough.
I’ve got Edward looking much neater now. His livery is more in line with the other blue boys. Now I need to work on finding a Gordon for cheap.
Kind little Edward needs a repaint to match the others.
Another static model done. It’s Henry this time. I made him with 3D print files from Cerulean Modelling (idk if they’re on here) and a face file from somewhere else. The tender uses parts from the main body files to create it. He’s also blue cuz I’m a Blue Henry enthusiast.
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
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.
Tried (and failed) to fight the light blue Thomas agenda
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 Ethel was created @theburiedtruck.bsky.social
Found a Bachmann Peter Sam for a decent price so I jumped on it
