If anyone has any 6 wheel coaches in 00 gauge, could you tell me how they run on the track and furthermore what is the minimum radius that they will run on? So far the coach is just about running on 3rd radius. Many thanks in advance :)

Here's some of the first prints of my #3Dprintable Furness coaches. I'm not too happy with the outcome. The coach seems a little overscale somehow, and its taking a lot of work to get the coach to sit on even the widest radius track due to the wide wheelbase. Still a lot of work to do. #modelrailway

This shot shows the interior of the coach from a bird's eye view. The roof has been removed to show 5 compartments, each with two seats at each end facing towards each other.

This shot shows a side view of the coach. The 6 wheel arrangement can be seen from here.

Side shot shows the backside of the coach, steps up to the roof along with a railing are positioned on one of the ends. Buffers and coupling hook are not yet printed as this is just a prototype.

I bought some plywood to start my layout and, in my mighty wisdom, I didn't comprehend how I was going to get it into the house... So its outside until I can cut it XD #modelrailway

75 Years Ago TODAY the Talyllyn Railway Preservation Society was formed. Following this, on the 14th May 1951 the TRPS ran their first train kick starting the global railway preservation movement as the World’s First Preserved Railway.

I work in retail, I hate when people walk away the minute they heard the beep and you have to chase them down. I think people should have the same mentality that teachers have to the end of school bell. The beep is not for you! The beep is to tell US to tell YOU when you can leave XD

Just finished watching "Oh, Mr porter" for the first time, very good film especially if you are a railway lover, but now I'm fixated on getting an A4 "Silver Link" locomotive model XD

Took my kids out for a visit at the club’s weekend event. They loved the duel gauge brewery layout.

Got an invitation to pull trains on it when everything’s been tested!

#TrainMisconductor is a pixelart railroad switching puzzle video game under development by myself and MsAsterisk. You run an alien locomotive, shunting cars from track to track in increasingly convoluted rail yards, while minimizing your timer and move counter to keep your conductor happy. #IndieDev

digital art drawing of a narrow gauge alien steam locomotive with 12 small wheels, a saddle tank, two funnels, a coal bunker on top of the saddle tank, platforms on either end, and some blinkenlights on its appliances. Standing on the front platform is an orange slimegirl in a hi-vis vest, with a blue slimegirl climbing up the ladder next to them. Title reads Train Misconductor.

Screenshot of Train Misconductor, a 3D isometric perspective train game with faux pixel art graphics. Here we see a straight track with a parallel side track connected at both ends, with a pair of stub-tracks sprouting off in opposite directions. On one siding is a boxcar, on the other is a tanker. The tank truck and forklift next to each indicates they are parked in the wrong spots. The yellow tank engine from the drawing at the top of the post is also visible. The control stand is a skeuomorphic interface resembling the electronic control stand of a diesel engine, albeit with a brass pressure gauge and sight glass over the throttle lever. There is also a digital clock for a timer, and a mechanical counter displaying the move count.

Screenshot showing an Inglenook Sidings level, with a 4 car long track fanning out into tracks of length 5, 3, and 3. There are eight boxcars of varying colorful liveries. The locomotive is shunting some of them. There is a warehouse on the longest track.

screenshot shows a Timesaver level. A track with a passing loop is connected by a switchback to another pair of sidings, with two stub sidings at either end and one in the middle. There are five cars of varying types parked on each track. The g.u.i. shows placards with icons of each car hovering over that car's destination. The mouse cursor mouses over a refrigerated boxcar, highlighting the car in white.

Just finished upgrading my #3Dprintable rolling stock pack 2. Now they use metal wheels instead of the plastic printed ones. You can check out the designs on my #Cults3D page right now:

The locomotive needed a lot of cleaning, the chassis was filthy. But its been cleaned and serviced and runs well. The chimney was replaced by the original owner, so I may get another one in the future. Soon I hope to get the track setup and show some video of it running. #modelrailway

Cab shot of my Hornby 0-4-0 "Midland Flyer". The locomotive is a saddle tank made to depict the class 264 shunter. It is in a dark red livery with the number "895" printed on the side of the cab and the letter M and R on the side of the saddle tanks.

Side shot of the same locomotive. You can see the printing in more clarity. It is also easier to see the replaced chimney on top of the smokebox. The chimney is not painted to correlate with the rest of the locomotive and therefore is still picked out in chrome.

An angled shot of the locomotive showing the smokebox door and down the side of the locomotive.

All this time working on locomotives I've not actually had a layout. So I finally decided to spend a bit and get one. When I was very young I got my first train set, however I was too young for it and it got wrecked. So I wanted to buy the same trainset I had as a kid. #modelrailway #00gauge #Hornby

A picture of a worn trainset box by Hornby. The trainset is called "The Midland Flyer". The front of the box shows a class 264 0-4-0 locomotive in a dark red with the Letters "M.R." printed on the side. Behind it is a wagon, small passenger coach, a flat wagon and goods van. At the bottom of the box are details on the contents of the trainset. Including the mentioned rolling stock, accessories, track and the controller.

A very late tribute to the late Britt Allcroft, but after the recent auction, I was inspired to do my own version of the famous Lady painting from Thomas and the Magic Railroad.
I'm very satisfied with the end result. It's exactly how I wanted it.
#thomasthetankengine #ttte #fanart #thomasandfriends

Full image fanart illustration of a painting of the character 'Lady' from the Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends film 'Thomas and the Magic Railroad.' The setting is a brownish yellow, grassy hillside with small red and white flowers dotted about. A small magenta steam locomotive with four wheels, a purple roof and frame, and gold smokebox and lining, with her name 'Lady' in gold script lettering on her sides is climbing the hill towards the sunrise in the background, which has fluffy pinkish-white clouds and lilac purple colored mountains with a bit of snow on their peaks. Smoke swirls out of the steam locomotive's chimney against the medium blue sky with a sun coating it in yellow from the left side. In the bottom right in script black lettering says 'In loving memory of Britt Allcroft' - indicating it is for the passed on creator of the television series adaptation of Thomas the Tank Engine a.k.a. The Railway Series books.
