Photos from a visit to a model railway in Hallsberg, Sweden, a couple years ago.
It's built next to the railway station and part of it is an exact 1:87 scale replication of its tracks and nearby area including the house it's in. (2nd image, red roof.)

Wacky yet neat combination Boxcar and Covered Hopper!

More info on the two cars used by the Milwaukee Road and BC Rail in joint service in the attached image!

Scan from a book (probably a Morning Sun book?) giving some information on the Combination boxcar/wood chip hopper used by the Milwaukee Road and BC Rail.

The problem with having a crafting hobby is you will have THINGS.

Bits of things, big specialized things, tiny bags of hard to get things, drawers of tools just for the things, half-completed things, duplicates of things you ordered because you forgot you already had those things, SO MANY THINGS

Genuinely, if it's handled well, I think this is overall a better solution than lowest res geo LODs in a lot of use cases

Okay, mad season over, and we're back. In a Patreon post I made yesterday getting everything up to speed, I mentioned not having done the Sawback charging handle latch for the Diemaco rifles - I have now corrected that.

C8A3 carbine from the a rear isometric perspective - prominently for the display of the oversized "sawback" charging handle unique to Diemaco/Colt Canada AR15 variants.

They make water slide decal paper for laser printers?! 🤯

Can’t print white, but this opens up SO MANY possibilities!

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue looks curiously at a pie which Green has placed on a plate on the table, while Green looks at him with joy and pride.
Green: I have made a sidequest pie!

Blue listens patiently as Green goes on.
Green: Flour from the mill we visited once, mushrooms that we gathered with your mom, homegrown parsley and basil... Almost all ingredients were things we've made or gathered on adventures!

Both foxes turn back to look at the pie.
Blue: How does it taste?
Green: Bad.

i think my favourite part about being a trans woman is how much of an impact we have on culture. a friend reminded me today about a popular meme format she created. another friend today casually told me about how she was the most notorious roblox hacker when she was a child.

just a day in the life!

So I had some thoughts based on experiences over the weekend that I wanted to share. Don't know who this needs to reach, but the general thesis here is that you shouldn't be afraid to let people see your hobby up close, even with things in an incomplete state.

LRT : @luigiyagami.bsky.social Yaga is one of my lo-fi 3D character artists and I wish I had half their knack at it. You should follow them and give them for both the big project (tm) and also to live.

I have not stopped doing little illustrations in the margins on my textures. Between that and Easter eggs they're the treat for myself in texturing

Semaphore at Bromfield. 25 August 2024. #railway #photography

Lower-quadrant signal BD4 stands to the left of the tracks just ahead of the level crossing at Bromfield. Behind is a house, perhaps once that of the station master of the long-closed station.

with all the talk about mod lists and blocklists and whatever, just a reminder to anyone following me not to feel the need to check clearsky or use any bots/plugins that tell you when someones puts you on a list or blocks you

it isnt worth it, its just bad for your head. a lot of us dont need that

We know the Queensland LNP - and likely federal Labor - will ignore this when they finish their inevitably biased reviews into gender-affirmation for trans kids.

But if you need to convince anyone that gender affirmation keeps kids healthy?

Here's an Australian review to show them. #AusPol #QLDPol
