Was not expecting a Payne face

What i have done here is rather simple with is weather and given lamps to one of Hornby's shrunken E2s. Next on the list is to give it a new chassis, whistle, safety valve and who knows maybe a new livery and identity.

another one using the Hornby 0-4-0. This one is a sorry scrap condition

Today i stumbled upon this old Hornby 0-4-0 with a wagon tender

Creativity is always a good idea. Branch out and try something new

I would but my computer is a potato battery

I just enjoy worldbuilding. I am only going to be modelling a coastal town i think but i want to make the entire world for fun

The original concept was a large Russia sized continent but i later cut that landmass in half creating the two islands. Both islands are huge when compared to the UK for example.

The first step is going to be turning some of these tank engines into the industrial engines working some of the many industries that i have marked on my map. possibly starting with a few quarry locos

Yep, stumbled upon it

Yep that's what I was thinking

The deepest point on the height map was 15 meters around the coastal area. With the highest being over 1000 meters

It was thinking of having it island hop. The two small islands on the south of the map is how the bridge is going to work. It will be many small viaducts rather than one long one

Yep

I know they are out of production but they aren't worth that much.

It was £80 but I think its now been reduced to £60

Creating your own AUs or alternative universes is great and experimenting with some imagination is always good to break the endless cycle of samey looking layouts.

Its just been on sale for about 6 or 7 years now on ebay. I don't think anyone is actually going to buy it. I almost feel sorry for the little tank engine

possibly everything is still a work in progress

Its mostly going to be based on UK designs but the map is a height map showing the elevation. And I am planning a large narrow gauge network in the more mountainous regions. The lines are state owned but are in different branches based on region. Just like network South East and regional railways and intercity. So its a very British climate on the western island while the east island is more Mediterranean in the south

All of the locos you have build look amazing and have inspired me to try kit bashing myself.
