Some pictures from the Barrow show! #HeartofGold

The show is open here in Barrow & we're honoured to be joined by Richard Awdry, who has brought his Grandfather's OO9 layout depicting the Mid Sodor Railway - Ulfstead Road. This is the first time both of Rev Awdry's model railways have been exhibited together outside of Tywyn!

Nearly time for the Furness Model Railway Show in Barrow! Come and say hello if you’re attending! #HeartofGold

A trio of P2’s under steam, waiting for their next run into the Highlands.

Heres a couple of my favorites I have of my models, hope these tickle your fancy

Wish I had a proper set up… (guess who the guy guy here here is becoming)

It'd be my pleasure. While I usually run two trains that match their respective eras, sometimes I do run what I want regardless of era or livery. Especially if it's a somewhat fitting pairing, such as two eerily similarly coloured locos from two completely different periods of history.

Here ya go

Ok. Small IKEA table N-gauge setup. Including a very tiny 3D printed t-rex skull.

This is my V60 shunting some wagons in an industrial area of the layout I am landscaping at the moment. #modelrail

Romsey & Halterworth in the mid-70s to mid-80s. Worked Absolute Block, 100% Lego. The layout will be at Southampton and Portsmouth shows in Jan, Feb 2027 and the Bluebell in June

Hmm....I suppose. (Yes I know it's the little blue puffball, but I had fun with it.

I may only have a scenic plank but it does its job very well.

I'll do one better, why not a video?

Fuck it, send me your model railway pics.

bluesky is like the early days of the internet for me in that occasionally i'll actually see some cool model trains but, for the most part, i have to settle for funny cats. i want more model trains and i don't know how to find them :( i will also take more funny cats too

and why he eepy 😂

and why he eepy 😂

well i suppose i better get of my fat arse and make something huh?

Finally completed, MTK white metal kit of a Class 40 diesel locomotive. So many side projects over the course of this build. It's taken two years up to now. The final tedious hurdle was cutting and placing 20 clear plastic windows. Here are pics of where it started, up to today. #modeltrains

Since you all seemed to like Dolgoch's throwback livery so much... 📸 Luke Ryan #HeartofGold

She rather looks the part, don't you think? 📸 Luke Ryan, Nash, Nathan Spence & Phil Trotter

Our final Photo CharTR of the year is well underway, featuring a rather dirty and worn 'Dolgoch'. A team of volunteers have carefully weathered No.2 to resemble how she was in the late 1940s, including some temporary sign writing!

Our friends at Dovetail Games gave us this teaser for some future Thomas & Friends™: Wonders of Sodor Add-Ons 👀 Who do we think these two could be? #HeartofGold

if scotland get out of the group stage of the world cup then I’ll do an entire auld lang syne series in a year

in a competition where it actually seems harder to get knocked out than to stay in... scotland might just have managed to get knocked out lol i mean, we won't know for a wee while but uh, looks like i'm off the hook sadly
