Back at it with my expensive impulse purchases! (£100 well spent)

Hello everyone! This is TankEngine97 from YouTube!

Thread of West Country “Eddystone’s”Remembrance Day rail tour. 1/4 Stopping at Folkestone west for a drink.

Guess who got to run trains at the club’s Hythe layout toniiiighhhhttt? 😍😍😍

Back at it with my expensive impulse purchases! (£100 well spent)

I got bored of my Timmy concept being... spooky Engines Of 8 Thomas, so I'm gonna rework his character to fit in my OC canon... Basically he'll be my take on Timothy whilst keeping his iconic traits. (Old 0-6-0, silver livery, dies etc)

youtu.be/F4bPZJJwyAA?... & as a bonus for today, one for the road!

Took my kids out for a visit at the club’s weekend event. They loved the duel gauge brewery layout. Got an invitation to pull trains on it when everything’s been tested!

Nameplates have finally arrived, now my OO9 W.G Bagnall project is finished. I love Dante so much.

Just updated my Straw.Page to have links to my railway lore! Hope it goes well!

Been a while…. As an apology for inactivity here’s my freelance. This is No. 3 “The Aegis”. (After the Shield of Zeus) She’s canonically built by the same company as the Vari triplets, the “White Metal Works” but was built to handle heavier trains and bank when needed.

Made some purchases today :) Got a new saddle tank for my OO9 addiction… & a 5mm England cause it was like £15 in the spares box

youtu.be/jT6sbSvKM4k?... Went on a trip today, rushed this out oops

I love Southern Headcodes so much they look so silly…. Hama Port canonically runs with disks now.

Here’s a project I kept from showing, this is Dante K. Bagnall… take a guess what his basis is lol. Nameplates will come eventually but atm he’s just here doing his little guy things. (Motor doesn’t work yet but I’m not fussed as I love how I did the lining too much to care)

Got to put my son on a test track at the local club’s open day. I think he took the spotlight for a bit as he was given coaches and stock to act as the track tester.

I hated those heatwaves, not for me at all…

Quick photoshoot of the father and son outside

I like my OCS that aren't trains

I enjoy you bald man from Baldis Basics

Happy Fathers day! Here's Geembus & Sapphire cause they're the best family.

Heccing tired rn but I also wanna model…..

Oomf told me about Bluebell being pained in a coach livery for a short while, so I did a quick edit on what she could've looked like.... & her in Birchgrove's livery as the SECR & LBSC love each other very much! 😍😘

Some of my favourite excerpts from my favourite book on the MSR I haven't cropped the scans fully so you can read the attached texts #RWS80th

Hunslet 3595 "Silverband" got an outing today as part of Threlkeld Quarry Railway's 15 year celebration It's my first time seeing it running, and it's absolutely amazing

Oh hi Blazh! Didn’t expect you to come back………..! You’re number 8 now!

Finally got the @accurascale.com P class in SECR unlined green! Love these tiny things so much, 10/10 would recommend xx 🥰🥰

Finally finished with my hyper fixation of making railway crests... god I'm tired... The M&RR is still going strong, but it's got a new friend to play with, The GMR! :)

Rapido Trains UK goes narrow gauge, with a brand-new 009 range: Rapido Narrow Lines! youtu.be/v8_wzUTDwfI

We’ve got a third Gem Vari! A friend of mine found an eBay listing and I had to scoop it up. The livery’s too fancy to modify so Revenge will just be here to keep No’s. 1 & 2 in check!

So Ember did quite well for her first competition.

Haven’t uploaded in a bit… been distracted elsewhere… But I got a digital camera for my birthday today so why not play around with it a bit? :3

Alternate universe where Carbon was sent up to Ladysmith instead of King (This is to show off that I have the superior model of Carbon)

Didn’t expect the visual novel guy that inspired me creatively to follow back. Thanks Blaidd Llwyd 👍💖

Some lovely dwarves from the Kent & East Sussex Railway's gala.

Whatever GO MY OCS!

This was the first vintage-style Railway Series poster I created! 😁 The view of Edward on his branch line, with Suddery castle behind, takes inspiration from the heritage line near Corfe castle. The border style evokes classic British Railways posters. (1/2) #TheRailwaySeries #ThomasTheTankEngine

She’s such a Diva 🥰💅

Replacing ‘Bladclot’ as it’s constantly fucked up. So here’s the new No. 5, Hunslet 2-6-2T, ‘Teto’. Painted dark red and given the lamp from No. 3 ‘Kael Desmond’ to deficit her from the WHR’s “Russell”.

The voices tell him to gamble........
