it would seem that I may have scuffed the scaling on the 009 Ruston I will rescale it before putting it up for download on Thingiverse However I am definetly keeping these three tiny rustons. the other two will likely become cabless but I find them way to amusing to just bin -

One of the rustons will become the counterpart for Pride of Wales, being painted in a couple of the other flags And Pride of Wales with one of the first of many coaches I am printing (currently held together with blu tack) You can imagine what I am going to do immediately after finishing said coaches Tiny Boi -

it was an ornament from an old pewter thingy I got for christmas (no clue why) so I cut it off, cleaned it and of course painted it the way I painted it is through sheer luck, extreme amounts of magic and wooden barbecue skewers -

A selection of my favourite pics I took of the layout the other day I couldn't resist a shot of Rheneas A pic I rather liked of the cottage overlooking the line Despite how simple these two are I just love them The engine shed in its current state. All I have really done to it is paint the interior and strengthen the roof -

I have also made a fair amount of progress on my 009 layout although I will wait to add more stuff before giving another progress report in the mean time one of my favourite things is the station which I have repainted and given an interior -

about six months ago whilst I was at a small event I stumbled upon these little things called Ertl Minis (roughly T scale in size). I thought they where just the cutest and I had to get them as they where $5 NZD each. as it turns out when I did some further research they are pricey so I decided "what the hell, lets make some of my own" ...... Things may have.... escalated they amongst many of my 3d printable designs can be downloaded here https://www.thingiverse.com/steelandsoot/designs -

did my best to fix these three failed 3d prints, they aren't the best looking but they run well and they will be my main coaching stock until I can afford to buy some more peco wagons and coaches now to finish my slate wagons -
