  1. I must hate my life today. Transport For London (tfl) API for tracking arrivals and trains. All this so I can see when my wife will arrive home. Wifey texts me at two stations which gives me an indication. This saves me having to play guest the train

    Boosted because I enjoy real trains, model trains, and toy trains. I collect 0 gauge toy trains made before WWII. 🙂

  3. Shooting my shot here for #railway and #ModelRail enthusiast but also #trains junkies over here. Does anyone have any ideas of good places to look for technical drawings of the SCB Ed 2x2/2 or, even better the Landquart-Davos G 2x2/2 "#Scaletta" #SteamLocomotive ??

    The scaletta has an absolute look to it. I found some very basic drawings archive.org/details/Scaletta/p but with the wrong #engine... I got the railstock tho 💗

    I'm following advice I got that steam engines are quite nice to learn cadding (and machining) on because they got a shit ton of easy to model bits and get to more and more complex shapes in a logical fashion, and for machining they are way easier to run than internal combustion stuff so mistakes and hacks won't scrap everything.

    I don't plan on doing any machining tho, I really wanna try my hands at cadding pieces.

    Of course if you have good technical drawings of another engine I'm all for it too💗
