First attempt at ballasting a switch and I think it turned out well!

HUMAN ARTIST!!!

Use one piece to Convince People to follow you!

I really should stop putting my moral stances with Union Pacific the company with the UP steam program. I really don't like undermining the work Ed Dickens and his crew put in with 4014. Just wish they had a boss that didn't suck up to orange man to get their monopoly merger approved.

"Driver calls me a right ol' 'Sizzler'!"

Now a half assed attempt with Donald and Sizzler. Apologies to @theburiedtruck.bsky.social for the butchering of his new character.

Time for a non-train post today, and since I’m in the mood for this kind of poll…

Which “Evil Clown from Scooby Doo” is scarier?:

This loco was completely black when I bought it

The new 2026 Balamory show is surprisingly really good. Most of the cast returned for the revival, the new theme song and intro were great, and the show did a good job on recapturing the spirit of the original 2000’s CBeebies show.

Overall, it’s a solid revival. 👍
