    THIS CRACKED ME UP!!! (Trampys Take on Thomas).

    This. I also recommend duck eggs, should be expecting a dozen next week from my boss. They're really good in baking, but I prefer them scrambled.

    Not to be that guy, but the placement of the gun bothers me lol. If you were lefthanded, you'd have to reach over to grab it. If you were righthanded, its laying on the wrong side to grab. 😶

    Morning folks, its currently 74 and cloudy with a light drizzle that's off and on. Phone says "Thunderstorms to end soon", well I don't think they're gonna begin anyways 🤔

    Did some clearancing to the inside floor of the base to make room for the internal workings on the powered SW. With this being a SW1500/MP15 cab on a SW7 body, the cab and base ended up sitting a little farther forward than normal. Even with all the trimming done to the base, the worm gear cover...

    Evening folks, Happy Friday! Its currently 69 (Nice) with a clear view of the supermoon/Wolf Moon. Just chilling and watching YT tonight. Along with a couple New Year's Resolutions, I've come up with another goal: create a small HO scale switching layout. I don't have enough room for a full-on...

    Thanks! Both models are Athearn BBs. On these older switchers the trucks are made differently, they clip through the frame and are held on that way. They have the worm gear covers too, just without the little prongs.

    Happy New Years y'all:) Needed to make a repair to the shell, I noticed both corners on the rear steps were broken off, so I trimmed them down the rest of the way and remade them using a bit of styrene. Also started working on the powered SW7 that will be paired up with this calf unit...
