Hey Y'all;

My On30 stuff had been for a couple years buried in the back of that closet. Went and dredged it all up last week.
Have been making On30 on and off for a long time.
Had a spurt a few years ago when Bachmann came out with Thomas the Tank Engine line.

Loco rear left this photo is kitbashed on HO 6-wheel Plymouth WDT.
Is set up to run cab-forward with an identical one coupled to hood end.
Mauve coal cars behind it started life as Troublesome Trucks.
Blue and red boxcars have frames from Annie and Clarabelle coaches with original wheelsets swapped out for some On30 wheelsets.

Have some 1/4 of the way done On30 streetcar bodies becoming passenger coaches.

Setting for layout is to be a fictional semi-tropical island, hence the bright color theme.


That is a 9 inch radius curve on 24 inch wide shelf.
Plymouth and cars will just squeak around 6 inch radius curve as they have been given pivoting couplers.
When all esle fials, go run trains
Screw the Rivets, I'm building for Atmosphere!
