PROJECT: Rainbow Sun pt.2

The chassis has been run in, but the pony truck needs a rethink.
The boiler fittings on the top have been removed, an unthinkable task but that’s what I did!
The tender has… had a coupling removed…
On the subject of the tender I find it funny that It reads N&W on the side, and is being used to create a loco that, in rea life, worked on… Read more

Two new engines to fuel my european fanaticisms have arrived, and they’ve been named! 310.23 ‘Élise Claire’ & 16 005 ‘Universe’.
Élise Claire is hauling the Orient Express, which just fuels me with nostalgia for MS Train Simulator, Universe meanwhile will be hauling a new train service. (More later)

Has anyone thought about modelling Rainbow Sun from The Magic Railroad?
Oh well, I’mma give it a go!
This trainset is also very rare as far as I know. The steam locomotive (what looks like a Baldwin 2-8-0) is hard to come by. Still, I got this with the idea to swap out the bogies and chassis of the train to run on HO gauge track. Just… Read more

This is probably as much as I’ll get to work on this one for now. At least the boiler is on comfortably.

To celebrate 200 years of the modern railway, I’m debuting my latest creation built for the End of the Isle layout! …In it’s almost complete state. Well, It is complete. Just doesn’t have the firebox light yet.
The engine was built in Switzerland to work the railway of the Isle, that was mothballed shortly after the company’s… Read more

The donor in the mean while is ganna be stripped of more parts, mainly the chassis, as I make a start on the C4/5 project! Also using the body of…

New loco came about a week ago!
It’s no Big Boy, but certainly is big!
This was going for way less than what a Broadway LTD model would cost (lrobs even if it was spares), and this engine has not only 1 or 2 parts missing, but is also infected with Mazak-rot or Zinc-rot.
The loco itself seems to be ok, nothing major that I can see right now,…

As one project nears It’s end, another one starts!
I’m making a new railway crane out of this Tri-Ang one with a more realistic control cab, with a vertical boiler! The boiler in question is made from a gaugemaster(?) solder tube.

Initially I though of grinding off the face of the model. Kinda glad I didn’t do that (despite already trimming off the edge of the nose). It was better to cut out the face entirely, which meant more creative freedom on the back of the loco, and also I have a new face!
