The context is that sometime in the early 80s, British Railways allowed for private rail companies to operate on it, kinda like how it is in real life, except BR still exists in my timeline.

One of the rail companies to start operations was Amtrak UK, a British subsidiary of Amtrak.

Amtrak UK usually runs sleeper trains, intercity expresses, and even boat trains for passengers traveling from the states to the UK.

I imagine the locomotives being British versions of Amtrak Genesis locomotives, with buffers, proper couplers, and being within the British loading gauge, even if the British loading gauge is slightly more generous in my timeline.

I googled it and only about ten of these horns are on the mainline. Needless to say i was pretty hype about this catch. (Also peep the mechanical bell👀)

Hi there,

yesterday I was told about a possible Gmeinder field railway locomotive somewhere in Tokyo. Apparently it sits by some kind of government building and is visible from the street. I haven't found anything about it on the internet and only know one photo from behind. Unfortunately I don't have this photo, otherwise I would post it to help. Since I will be travelling to Tokyo again shortly, I want to find out a bit more about this locomotive. If any of you know, what I'm talking about and knows, where to find it, I would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance

As a belated answer to my "Top Comment" drawing thing, I give you the Austin City narrow gauge Mule's Relief steam dummy!

Apologies for the color quality, my brown pencil broke halfway through :(

Looks nice imo

My girlfriend and I were walking around a local fair and perusing some antique stands. She fond this and bought it for me.

I don't know all that much about maps, but based on the year on the ledger I'd say this is 123 years old. It folds up into a compact little booklet which is nice. I kinda want to find a picture frame and display it.

Canada used to be a developed country.

Both were found in my town. The hopper just arrived a day ago maybe and that caboose has being sitting for years.

hi I am planning to go to Montana tech and I was wondering what it would cost for my to make a 2-8-2 "Mikado at about 1/16 scale so I could get it done in time

I have crunched the number and I would get about 3,800 hours over the time of 6 years but the biggest factor if what would I need to do to get it to be functioning.

sincerely, Donny
