Spent some of today painting.

The long wall pieces are a little warped so they're currently sat under a hardback book. Hopefully they'll be a bit flatter by morning.

#TT120 #ModelRailway
Pieces of a kit for a model railway building, laid on a light blue cutting mat. Laser cut from plywood, the sections which have been cut with a pattern to represent brickwork have been painted a brownish colour.

It does feel good to be back filming model trains again!

I've started to print the final parts for my #Thomasandfriends Lady locomotive. So far it's going together decently, but there are a few changes that need to be made. I'm hoping it will look good by the end. #modelrailway #3Dprinted #00gauge
A top down shot of a work in progress 3D printed Lady locomotive, from Thomas and the magic Railroad. It is still in the process of being printed so the boiler, smokebox, coal bunker and anything above the running board is not printed. The crank rods are printed in red and the cylinders are green. Inside the frames there is a drive gear attached to the drive wheels, other than this there is no mechanism yet with no motor attached. This shot is from behind the locomotive and has a temporary boiler in brown filament clipped onto the running board. More of the running board and wheels are shown from this angle. Along with the boiler is a separately printed bulkhead with controls picked out like the regulator in red. This is a front shot still with the brown body shell on. From the front there is a long screw going up through the running board that will screw into the smokebox at a later date.

More work continues! Working on ballasting the track along with the pond. I've also got lots more planned for the next few months! So keep a eye out for updates!

I've installed a new magnet into my Princess class and new brushes. At first it was working but it limped at low speeds. After a while the locomotive was completely dead. I only get the occasional smoke and sparks off the brushes. My guess is the magnet is too strong for the motor. #modelrailway
A side shot of the locomotive in question. A triang Princess class locomotive, Princess Elizabeth numbered 45201. The plastic body is removed to show the chassis and mechanism inside. The motor is an X-04 type motor I think, now fitted with a neodymium magnet built for these types of motor. Also fitted are brand new brushes.

I've just finished installing some new cylinders into my Triang Flying Scotsman model. Now I can at least run the locomotive. Unfortunately she is a lumpy and noisy runner, stopping and starting with sparks coming off the wheels. I expect the wheels need a much more thorough clean. #modelrailway
A full side shot of my Triang A1 locomotive, Flying Scotsman. In a green LNER livery. An upclose shot of the new cylinders having been fitted onto the model.

#hobbystreak 68 experimenting with alternate orientation and supports and a new resin for the trucks. The bottom chord is too thin for its length. #modelrailway #modelrailroad
Half an HO scale truck in black resin, still on its supports. The bottom chord of the double archbar is 0.23 mm by 1.25 mm and is a little wavy.

I'm experimenting with adding lights to locos and it's not going great. I am worried it's causing issues with the DCC chip, or I've mess up the wiring a bit

Work in progress rebuild of one of the tenement buildings. The original was basically just a printed box. This will have proper windows, interiors and lighting.

先ほどのSCは、車輪を改良したら少しスムーズになりました。
ボギーなら何とかなりますが、連結器をよほど工夫しないとコケてしまうと思います。

I've got a bit of a production line of weathering going at the moment, with three HO box cars and an OO wagon in progress. This is one of the Railbox cars that will be receiving graffiti. Still in the early stages, but doing a bit every evening. #bsmrg #hoscale #modelrailway #modeltrains #weathering

Thanks to David for sharing photos of 'Judy' (before she acquired her name) at work and rest on his china clay layout.
It very much looks the part!

Model railway. A Mini car is trying to get past a tractor on the road while behind them a different kind of tractor, a Class 37 locomotive, passes on a level crossing

My Christmas gift to myself was this little snow white loco. The Siemens Vectron. Here it is running in on the club layout. It is a sweet runner and has no issues with the track. Other members locos can sometimes derail on this layout #modelrail #modelrailway #roco

#hobbystreak 66 Made a recess for coupler modules in the coal car so I can experiment with different couplers. And broke a bunch of parts of the model! #modelrailway #modelrailroad
The underside of the end of the coal car with a new recess between the centre sills between the bolster and the end sill. This will enable me to drop a module in there, complete with screw holes in the right places.
