Not posted any model railway content for a while, but I'm getting into 3D printing, and with a 0.2mm nozzle the detail comes out not too bad. Weighbridge and hut based on one by the tannery in Colyton, Devon. #TMRGUK
Heads up Train Twitter - You can get some great railway themed items on Temu! £2.30 for this lovely Mallard wall plaque seems like an absolute bargain. The question is will one be enough?
@robert55012@BBC@VictoriaCoren Came here to the #OnlyConnect trending comments to see this! I got the answer in two, but if I'd needed a third this would have thrown me.
Here I am behind the train steering wheel as we pull into Harmans Cross. Waiting for the Crompton to pass en route to Swanage. This train driving is a piece of cake! @CottonTreeRail@SwanRailway#TMRGUK
Would have been nice to have been hauled by this beauty. Just have to make do with a #terriblephoto snapped as we were passing in the DMU @SwanRailway#TMRGUK
Great day out at the @SwanRailway with my good friend @CottonTreeRail . Unfortunately due to high fire risk it was heritage diesel traction only, but still it's not every day you get haulage behind a Crompton! #TMRGUK
After some quality procrastination I'm back working on my OO9 mini layout. Poured some resin into the chasm, so the bridge now crosses water. The bed was painted dark, so it hopefully gives the illusion of depth.

The fruits of my labours - a wheel type marking gauge for woodworking. Quite a tiny one, as most of the time I'm only marking small distances. #toolmaking
Been a while since I did some turning in the workshop. Steep learning curve here, turning a tiny shoulder and tapping an M3 hole in some 304 stainless. Work hardens in a flash, causing many blunted 2.5mm drills, and a busted tap!

Bugger all worth watching on the telly, so I got out this Parkside Dundas skip wagon kit (must have had it for nigh on thirty years). I wish my eyesight was as good as it was thirty years ago!

@PaterPracticus Although LEDs are diodes and will only conduct one way, they do not like reverse bias voltage, and likely wouldn't last long. So the rectifier that you use is the correct course of action.
#ModelTrainShow2025 My early 90s vintage Dapol Terrier gets to stretch its legs. There is quite the difference in the refinement of the mechanisms in a modern loco compared to this one!

#ModelTrainShow2025 Diesels posing for the camera at Bell End, and footage of the time when the class 22 tried to make a bid for freedom off the over bridge!

#ModelTrainShow2025 Blue Gin the horse returns to Bell End after yesterday's race. A Barclay and Hawthorn Leslie double header has been rostered for this turn. Sorry about the terrible camera work!

#ModelTrainShow2025 The Hymek and 22 are back in action at Bell End. A long (for Bell End) train of vans, and a regular passenger service. With the station so busy it is a travesty that Dr Beeching would close it in 1963!

#ModelTrainShow2025 After yesterday when it was mainly steam at Bell End, today the diesels have taken over.
Hymek, class 22 and a fleeting appearance from an ex GWR Railcar. Sped up so it doesn't get boring.
