Weeks kinda sucked but finally, some good news

Grandad offered to pay for my clutch replacement as an early Christmas present, and dad’s found out how much the parts are, looking into where we can get it fitted

Things are suddenly looking up :)

At the very least, companies need to start offering separate accessories with the same functions, the hobby’s become bogged down with the lack of things to do and is now just about running trains, bring back stuff like this, please!

Contraption,,,

It’s weird seeing the manufacturers go down the path of using gen AI… Isn’t the whole point of model railroading the fact that it’s the biggest artistic outlet in the wider hobby?

I’m of the opinion that old watercolour train set art should make a comeback…

This thing is already turning out so dumb and I love it

Funny enough, Wilbert Awdry did the same mod I’m doing to make his Gordon model, which iirc was why he labelled him a Stanier rebuilt in the RWS lore, but I’m gonna try do accurate frames and actually make mine look like an A3

TLDR, this Triang Princess body was in a job lot shared to a Discord server I’m in, and I decided “fuck it I can make one better”, so I’m torturing myself by doing this lmao

This is quite possibly the dumbest project I’ve ever taken on

Look at this STUPID FUCKING CAR

(I’ve owned him a year now :3)

((He needs a new clutch, desperately)

Gotta enable print ironing, make a few changes for the next one too, but already I like the second version better

It’s not the prettiest, but it’s restored my faith in my printers ability to make a good model

Might fiddle with printing it in parts rather than the body being a print in place component

FINALLY the chassis takes Silver Seal wheels 🙏

Now to work on the body…

A year ago today, at around 7:40AM, my car oversteered on muddy roads and 180’d, barrel rolled over a hedge, and landed in a field

I walked away with a bruised shin where it struck the steering wheel

This is a reminder drive carefully at this time of year, I got so, SO fucking lucky that morning

Finally got the bullet

Tryin’a do actual relief detail instead of just decals

This is good I think

- IP built around a series of books created by a railway modeller (an art form in its own right) which for the first 24 years used live action model trains which is still praised to this day

- Kids who probably glaze the model series use generative AI

I don’t get Thomas the train anymore man 💔

I can print track now‼️‼️‼️

I’m gonna salvage so much shit lmao
