photos from the train show today! lots of returning clubs of course, did see a z scale club that had some pretty neat scenes (last 3 images) - the detail you can get even with Z scale is pretty incredible

my shelf display model is now completed, WM #208 looks really good on it! i started working on this in december and it's finally done. I'm overall pleased with how it came out, but there's definitely a few things i could improve on for my next project.

SP #4449 and the friendly New Orleans 1984 World's Faire Monorail #5.

This is also a good view of the top of the aux tender.

i would love to start a irl model train club in my area that is explicitly lgbt friendly and women centric but that would require knowing gay people in my area who also like trains. which online seems like a lot but I'm pretty sure only one of my followers even lives in the same state as me

I'm so sorry to bother you but I have no other choice but to ask for help in spreading my campaign to get some donations in order to save my family's life, it's not easy to keep asking for help, but my family and I are starving here. I never imagined I would get to this point in my life, and it's harder when I ask people for help, but this is my last chance and my only hope, please don't take it away from me 🙏🙏

Please donate or share my campaign🕊️🤍🕊️

Nickel Plate 765 eases out onto the 140-year-old railroad bridge in Letchworth State Park in western New York State on August 1, 2015.  After its visit to Railfest at the Steamtown National Historic Site in Scranton, Pennsylvania earlier this month, the mighty steam locomotive has now gone back to its Indiana home.  Not to worry, you can still follow it on Twitter!

I met this beautiful lady today. Pretty interesting history, built by Alco in 1919, started out life as an 0-8-0 switcher and got converted to a 2-8-0 running coal up until the mid 50s!

This site has a lot of info about it!

btw I'm planning to go to the great scale model train show in timonium, md in february. i know it's pretty unlikely any of my followers are going but if you are, come find me :)

i may start to slowly switch my focus from N to HO scale, i just love the size and it's slightly cheaper than N scale - i see more steam locos under $100, and a lot of locos from high end brands for not much more than that. diesels are even cheaper, you can get a used bachmann model for like $40. as someone who does not want to spend a lot of money on trains it makes The Hobby much more accessible. (though i still don't have the space for a layout. i think my N scale collection is going to go on a permanent non functional shelf diorama)

Model railroad museum Taken: 02/23/24

Visited the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento, and they had a scale model railroad display. I honestly like seeing them to learn what I can for my own craft. This was one of them.

Lime Kiln

The Lime Kiln diorama, based on an actual set of lans in Felton, California, was built by the late Jim Vail. Look for the miniature workers in the kiln, and the detail of the limestones as they are processed. The lime from Felton was used to make cement for the growing city of San Francisco and surrounding Bay Area cities.

West Side Lumber

Located in Tuolumne, a small city in the Sierra Foothills, the West Side Lumber Company once operated an extensive logging operation served by a narrow gauge railroad. This HO scale model by Jim Vail is a foreshortened representation of the sawmill, which was modified to include a small farm scene.
