Things happened

Over the bridge and to the bay we goooo

Rounding the bend

The EMD powered RSC-2R is coming to life after as a GP20 repowering after the GP18 shell had paint issues. Looks pretty fun and unique compared to the RSC-2M ALCO repowering.

What a difference paint and details make when it comes to making ALTA 4225 unique! #modelrailroad #modeltrain #steam #kitbashing

Another Spirit Halloween glow up ❤️‍🔥 Might add some black muzzle markings to look more foxy! #furry #fursuit #fursona

Pacing is fun

Mmm yes.. Chinese mikados

Me, dragging furries to see trains? Yeah, it happens... even in Portugal! 😁🇵🇹 On today's #FursuitFriday we've got a group picture from when we went to the National Railway Museum in Entroncamento and this time I've brought along Tara, Maria, Snow Dutchie and Ray to see the trains there! 🤩 😁 📸 Pred

A new challenger is approaching..

Whole lotta Pennsy

Finally got around to getting ICRR 382 a brand new numberplate fitted and man, she looks better with it

Forever a Faithful. While others scheme in castles, ‘Dolgoch’ keeps steaming through the mountains. 🏰 #RailwayAdventure 📷 🐼

A little decal project from a while back honoring the amazing John Allen. Hope to get this and possibly some other G&D cars running at open house this year. Long live the Gorre & Daphetid ❤️

New coach has been started. A 60' labelle 1905 kit with slightly shortened sides because Im turning it into another narrow vestibule car. Annoyingly, due to the shortening, the windows are now not aligned. Oh well.

Some late night club nonsense. Seeing if the Q2 can get around the tightest (flat) curve on the layout with @prrshepherd.bsky.social and @dagg3r-actual1-1.bsky.social

One of the most beautiful 4-8-2 designs is also one of the last, the Rutland's L-1 class of 1946. ALCO really knocked it out of the park.

I know we didn't ""place"", but, like, honorable mention in a national model railroad contest is still pretty sweet! www.walthers.com/2025-nmrbo-w...

HUH

Looks like the MBTA is joining in on the Heritage Unit fun! Boston and Maine scheme looks sharp on a F40PH. From the linked article, it sounds like there'll also be a New Haven unit and New York Central unit (Boston & Albany?) in the near future too. www.boston.com/news/local-n...

An absolutely gorgeous piece

Doodlebug is getting lettering.

Kato USA apparently has a mascot, his name is Fernando and I love him dearly!!! 🐶❤️🦊

New friend who dis?

Just noticed how INSANE the air-horn setup on the nose of this FRISCO 4-8-2 is. Note the curved front bells(!!). What on earth did this early 4 chime sound like?!

The milk car now has vents and more detailed doors. Still need to add ice hatches to the corners.

I always dreamed of going over this little bridge in Larkspur/ Corte Madera every time we'd drive north and dodge the wooden pilings on the most hair-raising part of Sir Francis Drake Blvd. Glad that the steel portion of the bridge remains, even if the approaches are gone.

3053’s first run

The switcher and the lollipop

It's been a while (eternity) since I last used bluesky so here's an art dump (I think I like Avery just a bit) #ocart #art #digitalart #furryart

FURRY TRAIN FURRY TRAIN FURRY TRAIN 🚂 Many thanks to the West Chester Railroad for having us all! ^^ (This meet was organized by the Mid Atlantic Railfurs group!) #fursuit #trains 📽️ @gugu.ke

Train show haul for today

1067’s motor decided to kill itself. Thanks BLI. Switching time it is

Bored so random thread of some HO cars of mine

Eardrums officially destroyed. Worth it

Enjoy some interurban action to hopefully cheer you up a bit today!

his name is Altoona. please be nice to him

Didnt get to work on the coach, but I did start to look at my brass NYC&HR 999 to see what needs doing. Firstly, Im rewheeling and remotoring using Markits drivers and a HighLevel gearbox. Came with 80" wheels, replacing with correct 86". Also need to add the coupler pocket on the pilot.

Continuing on with River Roar, got the lining and lettering done. Will hopefully be able to put the final touches on tomorrow to finish it all off. #ModelTrains #ModelRailroading

How many cabooses do you need on the train??.....yes. #modeltrain #modeltrains

Rather nice cars. Perfect for a future mail train.. wish they’d go for better prices more often

Also on the bench is these old 'open ender' car kits. Since theyre whitemetal, I decided to solder them rather than glue. So a nice soak in alcohol for a few days and theyre all clean ready for building. Might paint them an ochre color for some much earlier cars.

Are you ready for #ParadeofTrains?! Join us from 11am to 4pm today and tomorrow at Brighton Beach and Kings Highway on the B/Q line for a weekend of free vintage train rides. Follow along on our Bluesky, Instagram and Facebook pages for a look at the event, Transit Trivia quizzes, and more!

Been a hot minute since I posted here. Here’s my new Thomas model!

Parade of Trains is one of our most beloved events. Thank you to @mta.info for helping bring these vintage cars back to the rails. We’ll see you trackside!

Tonnage test of the I1sa. Maxes out 27 cars

The G-8 project hasnt been neglected. The engine got numbers and crew along with some slight adjustments to the cab detailing following a difficult assembly. Now to begin the final assembly and wiring.

The NYC&HR class L / T-1 / S-1 6000 is now 'finished'. Just needs a light weathering and maybe pickup shoes. Yes, T-1 is correct. They werent reclassed as S motors until ~1908 when they were rebuilt with 2 axle trucks making them 2-D-2's.
