It'd be my pleasure. While I usually run two trains that match their respective eras, sometimes I do run what I want regardless of era or livery. Especially if it's a somewhat fitting pairing, such as two eerily similarly coloured locos from two completely different periods of history.
A custom-made GER C72 (3D-printed body by CDC Designs on an older Hornby Terrier chassis) passes a Hornby GNER Class 91 - both in nonidentical, but rather similar shades of dark blue

Fuck it, send me your model railway pics.
A black and white night-time photo of a modified Hornby J36 - specifically 65243 'Maude' in early BR black livery - and ex-LNER brake van in BR grey in tow. A somewhat incongruous, but nonetheless lovely, Rapido model of a double decker Guy Arab in Birmingham colours meanders along the road bridge in the background, it's lit interior showing that there aren't many people taking the bus at this hour.

bluesky is like the early days of the internet for me in that occasionally i'll actually see some cool model trains but, for the most part, i have to settle for funny cats. i want more model trains and i don't know how to find them :( i will also take more funny cats too

Finally completed, MTK white metal kit of a Class 40 diesel locomotive. So many side projects over the course of this build. It's taken two years up to now. The final tedious hurdle was cutting and placing 20 clear plastic windows. Here are pics of where it started, up to today. #modeltrains

Our final Photo CharTR of the year is well underway, featuring a rather dirty and worn 'Dolgoch'. A team of volunteers have carefully weathered No.2 to resemble how she was in the late 1940s, including some temporary sign writing!

A giant chocolate rabbit is in the process of being stolen by Riley, Michael, and Harley. Riley leads the way, taking most of the weight of it at the front, Michael hefts it up from the back, and Harley brings up the back, supporting (but pushing) Michael's shoulder. They're all looking back to the implied location they've stolen from it, Riley with a devious grin, Michael with gritted teeth of effort, and Harley with a mischievous Dreamworks grin.Katherine and Neptune are in a hospital waiting room. Neptune has taken the arrow to her shoulder. Katherine, in a silly cupid outfit, sits shamefaced next to her, head hung in guilt.Hilda from Netflix's Hilda and Ramona Flowers from Scott Pilgrim skate through the subspace highway - both drawn in the style of Hilda. Hilda herself is wobbling as she trundles along, both arms out to the side for balance, while Ramona watches on with a bemused smile, skating normally.Girl Oliver, a greenhaired girl, looks into a mirror. She glares into the reflection, looking slightly unsatisfied with what she sees. The words 'Girl Oliver - push and pull' are set over the image as if it's an album cover... because it is based on the cover of Donna Lewis' Now In A Minute

i'll tell you what is simultaneously satisfying and grim: listening to an album while filming at the same time and the album finishes when the filming does. the grim part is that it was a 20 second scene and the album was 40 minutes.
