Following Bangor & Aroostook 20 across most of the Northeast T-Trak layout…until an unfortunate derailment at the yard switch.

The reason it’s going so fast is apparent in the final seconds. Trying not to get rear-ended by high speed rail!

The risks in tiny drilling are two and a half. (1) You will not get the angle quite perfect; in correcting it, you break the drill bit. (2) You break the bit off in the casting irrecoverably. (2.5) You burn through too many bits. Wax lubricant helps - as does experience. #HOScale #ModelRailroad

A USRA 0-8-0 switcher, brass, from Tenshodo. Also, two structure kits for cheap. The loco will be a fun DCC conversion when I get to it. #HOScale #ModelRailroad #ModelRailway

I don’t know about the rest of you, but seeing this sticker on the front of a Bachmann DCC locomotive really doesn’t make me want to buy that (or any) Bachmann DCC locomotive.
#bachmann #dcc #modeltrains #modelrailroad #hoscale

Sticker on a Bachmann locomotive box which reads:
Note: In many cases, programming issues may cause a Bachmann locomotive to stop running.
You can restore operation by programming two CV's as follows: On sound decoders, set CV30 to 2.
On non-sound decoders, set CV8 to 8.
Then turn off the power to the loco, then back on again.
This will restore the decoder to factory settings.

With the main body casting cleaned up, we are ready for the most dangerous game: drilling the holes for the many grabirons with a tiny (and breakable!) #79 drill bit. #ProjectHarlow #HOScale #ModelRailroad #ModelRailway #Frisco

The most dangerous game: drilling grab iron holes with a tiny #79 drill bit in an HO scale resin casting.

Next comes the fine detail filing with a jeweler's file, where you have to be a bit careful about getting the angles straight and not over-doing it. #ProjectHarlow #HOScale #ModelRailroad #ModelRailway #Frisco

Another update at the #3Dprinted clockwork Porter locomotive. I'm really happy with how the locomotive's looking so far. Now the main bulk of it is properly screwed together it is built like a brick, very sturdy feeling in the hand. I promise I'll show it running soon XD #modelrailroad

Right side shot of the 3D printed Porter, compressed air locomotive. Still a work in progress but the new iteration has red window panes, cab roof and cylinders fitted without the valve gear. Buffer beams are all present. Details like handrails, steps and front lights are missing. The right side has a larger cylinder than the left side. Printed into a black livery.

The left side of the locomotive. This side is almost the same at the moment, once details are added it will be different, but the cylinder on this side is a lot smaller as is prototypical.

Front shot of the loco, giving an idea as to the size difference in the steam cylinders. Also it displays the front of the cab better with the red window panes.

Back of the locomotive, displaying the back buffer beam and cab with a large window.
