Some of you may have noticed that our No.7 has a fresh look this weekend! We’d like to share the heartfelt story behind this change... Last year, the family of a boy named Ethan Obi-Wan Couldrey contacted us. He was a regular visitor to the Talyllyn and often commented... (1/3)

So I've joined a new model railway club, and that means bodging together a motor and gearbox for testing :P

Honestly, I'd don't blame you, tbh I'd just want the MK1s as it's an extra UK coach type and also new british steam loco goes kinda hard, just a pity it's attached to a shitstain owned brand

Red all the way, but then again that's probably because I love a maroon-esque livery, see MR and LMS reds for what i like :P

Was going to post more about the chassis, printed fine but needed some slight adjustments so will need to hopefully print the "final" one soon, but something important has come up so he's on hiatus for now, but should be cracking on again soon.

The thing is, miniaturists (also known as modellers) have made a job out of it since the first dolls houses became popular, but it kind of boomed with model railways and planes well over 100 years ago, frank hornby took German models and anglicised them and that's how Hornby Railways was born

Must admit I did wonder what happened, but yeah I'm still happy to do so :) And don't worry I do remember the both of ye, but with lack of messages I did forget about the pamphlet, meant to send a message enquiring about it but life kind of got in the way :S

TMW you get the urge to go against the grain of your usual modelling and seriously want to start CAD/Blendering up some british prototypes for a plarail chassis or 2 Blame this thing for starting me down this thought path, also watching a load of plarail battle videos :S

I kind of like the idea rhat they are of duchess origin rather than something none british, especially since in TVS we have representations for the other 2 big streamlined classes, so a bathtub duchess pair in blue and maroon kind of fits more than anything else

Idk how many of y'all here have see this. This is apparently going to be a new motorized Thomas, Mattel is going to release in 2025. Many on the bird found through Mattel's service website, typing in HFX93 for the code. consumersupport.mattel.com/mattelsuppor... IMO this looks decent. #TTTE
2025? Motorized Thomas.

Aye i see what you mean, to be honest I'm just happy to have a nice looking TM2 style thombo, never liked the original much, but considering i grew up with OG 1992 Tomica World/plarail i don't think I can be blamed for my preferences :P

Mr. Morris - flyingtardis @flyingtardis.bsky.social · 29/12/2024
Honestly, I'd have to move the chassis forward somehow but I kinda dig it, way better than OG TM2

And they say toy story is fictional XD on a serious note if it does have a chip in it and your running it on DC that could be the bother, or the socket PCB itself is faulty, or a connection somewhere is loose or broken

Hope you all had a good christmas everyone! If you didnt see "the Jury", heres the Tidmouth roundhouse I made for it! this doesnt replace the original sheds, just an additional shed for the engines. it was based off the TVS sheds of course, but also barrow hill roundhouse. It was a ton of fun to do!

I honestly don't know, I know the CD motor has worked and made it run like the later hornby version, so all is good now :) I do regret trying to convert my 4f and hogwarts castle though, luckily HC should be easy enough to sort out but the 4f will need a new gearbox and motor in the loco itself now

Tbh I think I just got unlucky with the 42 I used, even after servicing it never ran great, would be sluggish to begin with and constantly needed warming up, clouded my judgement a bit I reckon

But it's all worth it to be pain free, I've had to learn a lot of the aftercare first hand but if you want any advice just send us a message, would rather put my post-gallbladder knowledge to use than let people struggle

Oh my days, I'm sorry you've had to go through that, when I had mine removed I remember the pain being unbearable, but on the bright side it's being sorted, just remember to stay near toilets when consuming food, and never trust gaseous expulsion for about a year

トーマス本体はこんな感じです。
キャブ内部をそれっぽく再現。基盤を覆う為のカバーパーツ。左がキャブ内部を再現したディスプレイ用。
右がカバーパーツを取り付けた走行用。窓枠と汽笛は、プラ板とジャンクパーツを使い更に立体的に仕上げた。

From the rough concept drawn out on a top view photograph to the first 3-dimensional visualisation in Trainz Railroad Simulator. The final concept for my little Ikea Snudda diorama pretty much stands now. #modelrailway #diorama #h0scale
