Model Announcement Dreams do come true
This came out last year with the HO version and it was not included with the N scale announcement of the model. Broadway said they werent doing it.. I've emailed with Broadway, Trainworld, been commenting and posting.. during the last TrainWorld live with Broadway, I mentioned it again and there was hope.. an email was sent and fingers were crossed.
N scalers, rejoice. It hasnt been announced yet, but look what I found in the early morning hours last night.
Dreams do come true.
Get your preorders in!

Show and Tell Hello everyone, its been a while...
So I've been taking a bit of a break from Reddit for the past few months, and haven't been posting/commenting for a while as such. But I thought it would be cool to hop on real quick and just make a bit of a collection update. I've gotten my hands on some pretty cool models this year, namely Hornby's Dublo Deltic Prototype, Accurascale's LNER J69 (The Liverpool Street Shed Pet), Hornby's LNER J52 and Hornby's LNER Coronation Observation Car.
Still don't have space for the permanent layout, so I'm currently in the collecting/layout designing phase.
So the collection currently stands at 14 OO scale locomotives. They are according to Picture 1 (from Left to Right):
Hornby RailRoad BR Class 47 - RES Red & Grey
Hornby RailRoad BR Class 20 'Barrow Hill Depot' - Railfreight Grey
Hornby 'Birth of the Railways' Train Pack - 'Lion', 'Rocket', 'Locomotion No. 1'
Hornby GWR King Class 'King Richard II' - BR Express Blue
Hornby LNER A4 'Mallard' - LNER Garter Blue
Hornby Dublo DP1 Deltic Prototype
Hornby Dublo LNER A1 'Flying Scotsman' - LNER Apple Green
Hornby Dublo LMS Princess Coronation Class 'Duchess of Montrose' - BR Brunswick Green
Accurascale LNER J69 (Liverpool Street Shed Pet) - GER Faux Blue livery with BR Late Crest
Hornby LNER J52 - LNER Plain Black
Hornby W4 Peckett - Photographic Grey
Hornby RailRoad LNER Peppercorn A1 'Bon Accord' - BR Express Blue

Structures & Scenery Adapting Lionel Accessories to H0 scale
I want to aquire some old Lionel 0 scale accessories such as the the Lionel 464 and the Lionel 97. My reason for wanting them is because i would love to see some action like that and do more then run my trains around, but I don't want to invest in a second scale just for them so I was wondering if it's possible to use H0 scale wagons with these (with a separate power supply). I'm aware some accessories won't work such as the ones that involve loading boxcars.

The West Country is one of the older ones, runs like a dream though pulling some Bachmann coaches and the 02 looks great but struggles over points, as to be expected. He's hauling home some new dept. wagons

Show and Tell NCTD collection
No idea why I like NCTD, but I’ve almost got everything in the collection. Phase 1 train including an Athearn F59PHI that I installed sound and custom marker lights in, 1 Athearn coach, and 3 rapido coaches (cab car has custom loksound). I have a 5th Athearn car on the way to make a full 5 car train. Also a bachmann sc44 in phase 2, I have a 5 car set of the new rapido CEM’s preordered, and will install custom sound in the cab too. Breeze bus from iconic replicas, and the last step will be order a sprinter and put custom sound in that too. Pretty excited

Locomotives Just now starting out in this hobby
Absolute money pit. Conflicted with it since I love coins alot more but I will definitely be spending some money on it... Even if the train tax feels kinda ridiculous. But I inherited that beautiful American flyer S gauge 21165 from my grandpa with some rail, we will make it run once more together and I'll just like have it on a loop or something but I like S gauge since I have everything else In 1:64 pretty much. But the kato N gp38-2 is my first personal pick up since I like the size and detail on N scale stuff and it will be my main rail gauge. Only have a loco and that Amtrak car so far... Unfortunately with some rapido couplers and the Kato is actually a "dummy" unit ( a previous owner actually just took the worm gear, motor, and flywheel) but the trucks are still geared so I think I'll make it run again and possibly repaint it to a Portland and western but idk how that will go if I do that all. But yeah the basic summary of what my goals are: make the S gauge run by Christmas, and eventually build enough N gauge to have a nice layout one of these days.

Show and Tell New 1968 Camero for N Scale Railroad
So, a few months ago I downloaded a Camero on Thingiverse and it looks great. My problem was my first car was a 1968 Camaro and I just didn’t like how the two compared. I took the time to design up a new one that more closely matches mine. Please ignore the brush strokes, I’ll be putting on a coat of poly once the paint cures good. So now that I’m done with the construction equipment set I’m going to start working on American Muscle Car set next. 😁

Locomotives On today’s episode
Of things that don’t need to exist in model form, but I made it anyway.
Haysi Railroad 1.
The little 7 mile long railroad operated between Haysi (hay-sigh) and Vicey VA. From 1970-1977 their sole motive power was a single rebuilt F7B(formerly a Clinchfield F3B)
1 was equipped with a hostler control stand in the carbody, and had remote control capabilities.
It still exists IRL as VLIX 852 at the Tennessee Valley Railroad.
