Since Thangs is now offering 3D prints along with designs to download, I’m getting my account there back up. I’ll try to post a link once I have more of my designs up.

The EF66 always beats everything if it can keep its center bogey on the track.

This is my kind of build. Look at the clever way there's a diagonal wall with a background and tunnel entrances to get from one side to the other. Almost two layouts in one!

After quite a few months, I’ve reached about 90% completion of my coffee table/model train set. It is made from maple and walnut, with plexiglass sides and top. It’s about 80 percent scrap wood, and bits and pieces I found at thrift stores over the years. I’m really happy with it.

A rectangular box on short legs sits in the middle of a carpet. The box itself is mostly plexiglass, with dark brown walnut wood on top and light maple on the sides. It encloses two winter scenes. But try and get her shape is divided diagonally, each side, showing a slightly different scene.

One side of the train set showing a winter country scene, a snowy landscape with lots of pine trees, two train tracks run around it, over a frozen river and lake, and buy a station with several park, cars, and people collecting their luggage after the train has dropped them off

Another overview of the train set coffee table, showing it at a slight angle. It is a rectangular box, on short legs. The sides and top are mostly plexiglass with a wooden frame.

Fixed it. This bridge is much cooler now. It just needed some character. #hoscale #HOModel #scalemodel

Another wagon off the workbench for Project C! This is a simple conversion of a Farish Bogie Bolster as I've done before, but painted white! Now need to work out how to do the load. Well the white poles will be plastruct, unsure on how to do the tent! #Thomas #NGauge #Ttte #ThomasModular

Finish the bridge at 2 to be able to build the station at 4 while wiring up the track at 3 but not 5 then keep the temporary rock formation at 1 but not the one on the other side of the tracks, asphalt the road without dyeing the landscape.

i don't want to go calling it a whole railyard... so i was thinking "railyardish" but it sounds like radish

Tachyon Eddy @tachyoneddies.com · 2d

I may see in SCARM, the free model railroad layout software, but the track pieces I have on hand seem to want to do this. I had no idea about the surprise bonus of a branch line (right) out of the railyardish that leads to a scenic tram ride across the waterfallish.

Extra points for phrasing it effectively but nicely.

I love the model railroad club at my college but some of the people there need to sit down and think about how they talk to people
