This Saturday 7/18/26 starting at 5:30pm Pacific I'll be streaming on picarto.tv/baronengel. Summer is in full swing, but before we know it it'll be autumn and then winter, and along the with seasons the weather will change as well, so this week weather will be the theme.

Got to wait a little longer for the GWR variant to turn up, but I sure wasn't turning down the 'chassis only' option from @rapidotrains.co.uk new 009 Sirdar models. 009 manufacturers take note - MORE of this sort of thing! #modelrailway

Today's project: Teeny Tiny Tractor! #modelrailway

In her prime, fresh off the line.

HEY YOU! Remember that @drafthorses.bsky.social episode that premiered the other day but nobody had a good time because @timsplosion.bsky.social's audio was like a bowl of Rice Krispies? (Snap. Crackle. Pop.) Well we got it fixed! And it's premiering all over again! www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQ4x...

It's new socks day!

Current mood:

009 model railway manufacturers seem to be out to get my wallet at the minute and I don't like it! 🤣 #modelrailway

After years of searching, I finally obtained my personal 'holy grail': A copy of the Leek & Manifold Light Railway book by Bob Gratton. The spine is very sun faded, and the dust jacket is a bit battered on the back, but I don't care... I'm so happy I didn't have to pay anywhere near £500+ for it! 😅

Nice bit of carpentry on a Sunday. Having stalled for so long it's nice to have this layout suddenly hurtling towards the completion stage! #modelrailway

I've never seen a better representation of myself...

Someone forgot to turn off 'Greylag Goose Mode'... 😆

"Well, the 009 Sirdar locomotives Rapido are making are nice and all, but they wouldn't look right for my railway, and all the liveries they're producing are a little too obscure for me-" *Light Railway Stores announces a GWR variant" "DAMMIT-" #modelrailway

its hot outside ☀️

Someone at work complained that I was wearing "a really loud gay pride shirt"... Factory Foreman laughed himself silly when I he saw it was the Spectrum logo from Captain Scarlet! 🤣

Last week bought the sad news of the passing of Special Effects legend Brian Johnson. As a Gerry Anderson fan I'm ashamed to admit I've only ever seen a couple episodes of SPACE:1999. That all changes starting tonight!

Tonight's viewing: Think I can just about get away with saying I'm watching it in 4D at this point...

You know it's hot cause I'm eating ice cream! Records indicate the last time this happened was 13 years ago... 😅 I get crippling brain freeze really easily.

Warm Weather Wear: www.deviantart.com/bobthedalek/... It's too hot. #mlp #mlpfim #mylittlepony #pony #art

#makeaterriblecomicday2026 I'm blaming the beginnings of heat stroke for the joke not quite landing on this one. Stay hydrated everybody!

No time for art today, but hoping everyone had a great Fathers Day! Upside Down Frown (2020): www.deviantart.com/bobthedalek/... #mlpfim #mlp #mylittlepony #pony #art

"I don't like the idea of you visiting TWO #modelrailway shows in ONE month!" "I'm more train than man now! Choo Choo!"

At a wedding today: "And now (Bride's sister) will give us a reading of Les Mis" "What?! ALL OF IT?!!!"

Introducing - Bertram (17th Earl of Shrewsbury)! O9 gauge (7mm scale minimum gauge), @gubbinboxmodels.bsky.social 3D printed 'Arthur' kit, lettering and lining by Fox Transfers, name and works plates by Light Railway Stores. He's not perfect, but for a first attempt, I'll take it! #modelrailway

The Rainbow Dash Dalek Peter bought at one of his first pony conventions has made its way back into our lives! #mlp #mylittlepony #brony #drwho #rainbowdash

Be quiet, Sunburst, and just help her finish the summoning circle. Artwork is by Kettle Master (bobthedalek)! www.deviantart.com/b... #mlp #mlpfim #art

I've not been in a great way mentally this week. But tonight I'm feeling slightly better, so I'm going to do it. I'm FINALLY going to watch the new @drafthorses.bsky.social episode! I hear it's a good one, you should watch it too! Already seen it? WATCH IT AGAIN!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyYI...

Daily pony drawing day 17: Octavia (featuring Vinyl) #mlp #octaviamelody #djpon3 #vinylscratch #pony

Replaced the lettering on the front of the Heywood loco after realising that the standard 'Great Western' lettering is a pretty close match. Looks much better! #modelrailway

Today is very important day. "Combine Harvester" by The Wurzels turns 50 years old! I might even drink some scrumpy in celebration! Combine (2022): www.deviantart.com/bobthedalek/... #mlpfim #mlp #mylittlepony #pony #art Sing along everyone! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vQU...

Sometimes, the internet algorithms show me some wonderful things... @oxfordinary.bsky.social, you'll be happy to know I instantly thought of you... 😜

Yeah, if they found out, poor Dashie would be mobbed by them instantly. Artwork is by @kettlemaster.bsky.social! www.deviantart.com/b... #mlp #mlpfim #art

Twilight Sparkle is going through it.

Filing this under "Silliest thing I've done in pursuit of a micro layout" - Cutting and shutting some old Lima MK1 coaches: #modelrailway

Didn't pick up many modelling supplies or projects at the show (The tractor is a little bit of fun that brought the total to a good round number!) But as for books, it was a very good haul!

Time for the yearly highlight of my social calendar! #modelrailway

Frustration: www.deviantart.com/bobthedalek/... "Draw a frustrated pony/Draw a pony losing their cool" Finishing up the last of the NATG images. This prompt in particular broke me. #mlp #mlpfim #mylittlepony #pony #art #NATGDay27

had these bad boys printed last night are you ready to be enchanted by Octavia Melody with a mustache #ponysky #mlp #mylittlepony

Today I learned that you can play the old Lego Island game in an online web browser. I never played this game as a kid, but I did play the old Legoland game a TON! If someone manages to make a browser port of that I'm going to be wasting a lot of free time! 😅 isle.pizza

Final Fee: www.deviantart.com/bobthedalek/... "Draw a pony graduating/Draw a pony at the end of a long journey" Made it back for the final prompt! Expect the missing ones over the next few days. #mlp #mlpfim #mylittlepony #pony #art #NATGDay30

Probably the main reason for my recent visit to the Lake District - The chance to finally meet Heywood Locomotive "Katie" and take a whole bunch of reference photos for modelling. She's actually bigger than I'd imagined!

I’ve always struggled with traditional art

No joke, I have actually wanted to go here for years! 😅

The G6 redesign for Canterlot is looking quite radical! #mlp #mlpfim #mylittlepony

If you know where to look, Sodor is closer than you think... 😉

Let's play the classic game. Can anyone guess where I am in the UK just from this signal? 😛

If this place doesn't have a drink named 'The 20% Cooler' I'm going home!
