Got my Henrietta looking smart, and I even built Elsie to go with her. Toby's definitely seen better days though...

New models up on Thingiverse…

I posted this over on instagram already, but here’s a thread of all the Wooden Railway customs I’ve done. These guys were kind of my thing before I had the money for actual models. (1/?)

Here’s my model of Duke. The small Englands come apart easy so painting was a breeze. Can’t wait to run him on a permanent layout.

I wonder who this is gonna be…

Ok hopefully this is the last time I mod Anna-Maria for a while (also Percy finally appears on this page)

Been on a bit of a roll with the narrow gauge clan

I need to get better at WIP photos

I’m finally locking in with 3D designs. I made myself a Thingiverse page to share some of my designs. www.thingiverse.com/Desktop_Sodo...

I had this idea to take Lady and make her more proportionate, so this is what I came up with. I’m not an engineer so I don’t know how well it would work but it looks good to me and that’s enough.

I’ve got Edward looking much neater now. His livery is more in line with the other blue boys. Now I need to work on finding a Gordon for cheap.

Kind little Edward needs a repaint to match the others.

Nice Day For It Isn’t It?

Another static model done. It’s Henry this time. I made him with 3D print files from Cerulean Modelling (idk if they’re on here) and a face file from somewhere else. The tender uses parts from the main body files to create it. He’s also blue cuz I’m a Blue Henry enthusiast.

This static model was sort of an impulse make. Eventually I will get a chassis to put under her but until then, this is my static model of Dolgoch. The Old Lady is a welcome addition to my growing narrow gauge clan

Here’s my take on Proteus. He’s another static model for now, but I am going to motorize him eventually. He’s sitting on a dummy 109 chassis rn so that might be what I go with.

Starting another static model

He probably should’ve cared more about a few spills

It's high time I made more stuff for the narrow gauge clan. I made and printed my own Beatrice files and everything.

I also revamped Anna-Maria too. She keeps her same color, but I added a few details. Her lining is a bit more vibrant now too. Part of me wants to weather her since she's a more industrial engine, but she looks so smart it has me thinking twice.

I decided my Thomas should look a tad more traditional this time around. Still put my own flair on it mind you.

Tried (and failed) to fight the light blue Thomas agenda

Brought a few friends back to campus

I finally found a face to fit my terrier

Skittle in progress

Marmite and marmalade

I've been experimenting with making OO9 buffers and realized Cora is painted in a darker shade of blue than she should be in that condition. She's going in for a repaint into a more SKR esque livery. I might also paint Millie similar to how she is in the show.

So I've been on a Buried Truck fix for a bit so here's a model I whipped up kinda fast - Ethel. She's only a static model for now but I'm sure there's some way to do it Ethel was created @theburiedtruck.bsky.social

Found a Bachmann Peter Sam for a decent price so I jumped on it

Someone's not a morning person

Tried my hand at face editing

Had an idea for a static model

I changed Toby's livery a bit and also completely overhauled Henrietta. I didn't want to be basic and just use the Bachmann one so she's put together with a bunch of parts I had spare.

To celebrate the 80th, here is my model of the most splendid red engine you ever did see. I took a stock standard James and slightly modified him. I thought about some of the issues I had with TVS James and went about fixing things. I also added a neat little tender cab to make him unique. (1/5)

80 years ago today, Wilbert Awdry's Railway Series books began their life. Both author and books went on to inspire generations of children to love railways as much as he did. Happy birthday to the RWS, and thank you to the good Reverend for making our younger days more colorful and bright.

So that's where that jazz is coming from...

TEASER TRAILER

TAKE MY FUCKING MONEY

Here's my work on the 4 regular coaches to go with the brake. It was a pretty repetitive process so I got the whole batch. (1/2)

I found this coach design on thingiverse and had my friend print it on his resin printer. Threw on some paint and there you go. It uses the wheels, buffer as and couplers from the Hornby starter set vans. Since this is a brake coach I plan to make 4 composites.

I've just realized I've never put all my locos together in one place (this isn't even all of them)

A little mini project this time. I took the Bachmann Emily coaches and dressed them up in a livery reminiscent of the old coaches from season 1. While I'm content with them, Thomas doesn't seem too jazzed about pulling them lol

It's not a OO model but its a splendid project nonetheless

I have never really liked Flora's basis so I did my own thing. To make sure she was at least somewhat recognizable I used her colors and made a sort of "Improved Engine Green" esque livery. I didn't have any spare buffers so I gave her sqare ones like Anna-Maria.

Yet another freelancer...

First complete model of the New Year. Toby has always been a kind of back burner project that I always pushed to another day. I finally locked in and finished him (just in time to be late for the 1st lol)
