Visited a friend who has a Railway Series themed layout based on Thomas’ branchline terminus, Ffarquhar. There’s still some bits that are a work in progress, but it’s a lot of fun to run!

In retrospect, seems bad that we played Fox News 24/7 on USAmerican military bases worldwide for the last 25 years.

DEFCON 1… That’s all I have to say. 😱

“The train does not care where you come from or where you are going. The train does not care who sleeps in your bunk. The train only cares about one thing: The next stop.” @samanthaallen.bsky.social in a glorious ode to trains in Them www.them.us/story/amtrak...

For the first time these past two weekends, I volunteered for an annual “Day Out With Thomas” event at SAM Shortline. 😊🚂 It’s been exhausting, but fun! 🎉

I haven’t posted here in a while, but I gave my Gauge 1 live steam engine “Mimi” a test run today. She has a valve timing issue to sort out, but I was glad to have her steaming again.

Can attest to this 😊

Thanks to @thegreatjaxie.bsky.social for this beautiful artwork of Callie (an OC of mine) with Maetel from the “Galaxy Express 999” series! 😊❤️

@penguinprints.bsky.social Flashback to your first commissioned print - DLMX 4219 (SP 4449’s Auxiliary Tender) in HO Scale 😎👍🏼

Love and acceptance

Thinking of taking the trip to the model shop this week. #histscalemodels

They were in such a hurry to get this done, they didn’t even bother finishing it lol 😂

Merry Christmas, BlueSky Friends! 😊❤️ Have a festive, snowy steam train picture to enjoy 🎄🚂 (Photo taken at Stone Gables Estate - Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania)

New Santa Train Videos Thread: Woodstown Central Railroad - Santa Steam Specials in South Jersey youtu.be/DsJ8MLgMlEA

More Santa Train goodness in Pennsylvania and New Jersey! My first time visiting Woodstown Central and a last shot of snow at New Hope & Ivyland a few days before. 🚂🎄

Steam in the snow is a beautiful sight… especially if you have as pretty an engine as this! 😉 Special thanks to the Star Barn estate railroad crews for their hospitality and braving the cold to put on a lovely show! 🎄🚂

Who doesn’t love a Rapido Trains Mystery Box? Here’s what I got in mine! 😎🎄 (Detailed photos in the thread below)

Here’s the full video of my trip to the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum to see their two steam engines in action! 😊🚂 youtu.be/TW6mLF7Wp5w

I survived the Great Summerville FoamFest of 2025 😅 It was great seeing both 630 and 4501 doublehead a train - both engines put on a splendid show! Below are some pictures and video clips from the weekend’s activities 😊

My coverage of 611’s excursions from the weekend of October 10th-12th! Thanks to everyone involved for putting on a great show! youtu.be/bx-EDw1EfH8

Current Mood…

SAM Shortline is an underrated excursion operation and folks need to see how good it is 😊

This is why railroads should NOT listen to hedge fund bros who are only in it for a quick buck.

Steam Trains - Big and Small - At the Strasburg Railroad!

That’s right bitch we do it different in York County

I don’t post photos of myself very much, but here’s a look at me volunteering at the South Carolina Railroad Museum this past weekend. 😊🚂

During some conversation about “Galaxy Express 999” in a Discord server, I noted Maetel’s attire being similar to my OC, Callie’s outfit. With special thanks to @beatlewolf.bsky.social, the vision became reality! 😊

On the Rockton, Rion & Western, there are two beautiful structures that visitors can see during the ride. One is a sharecropper’s cabin and the other is the Greenbrier School, made out of Winnsboro Blue Granite.

After just shy of 181,000 miles and twelve years of running, I’ve said goodbye to my 2013 Hyundai Elantra. Many travels and many memories with this car… 😌

Something something locomotive numbers aligning with dates of the year… “6325: Return to Steam” memes ensue.

Another year, another Spencer Shops Train Show in the books! Got to see lots of trains and met some new friends 😎🚂 Photo and mini video thread below!

On this day, The Office turns 20 years old. This year, Thomas the Tank Engine turns 80 years old. This is my little tribute to both shows. 💙✨ #TTTE #TheOffice #edit

As a follow-up to my post on Thomas’ 80th Anniversary, I took these photos for the South Carolina Railroad Museum. 😊🎉 The wooden Thomas normally resides on a play table in the museum’s ticket office and returned afterward. 😌 (NOTICE: All rail equipment was safely secured during the shoot.)

Several railfans of my generation (myself included) got hooked on trains thanks to this little fella. 80 years ago today, the first book of “The Railway Series“ was published - sparking a global phenomenon that lasts to this day. Happy 80th Anniversary to Thomas the Tank Engine! 🎉

Awesome ALCOs on the Arcade & Attica! Thanks to @dynamoproductions.bsky.social, Timeless Rail Expeditions and the Arcade & Attica crews for making this event a great success!
