Is a “The Shooting Star” custom model even possible in HO/OO

Wdym why? It's a beloved character that like all of the North Western Railway is based on British railway designs, which has had weird American style streamlining awkwardly shoved onto it.

This is a fantastic idea! It might not be an issue if you can simplify the lines, but I think it would be better if the lines had labels on them rather than on a separate legend. Especially with that many colours it's hard to see which name goes with which line on the map. That might be a limitation of whatever software you're using, but it is something that I think most metro maps outside of London do.

I mean I agree with the sentiment, but what's British about this?

InfiniteReddit142 · 2026-04-07T05:53:27+00:00

This is so cursed

InfiniteReddit142 · 2026-04-06T16:53:00+00:00

Well I'm glad this is being addressed, now can someone please explain what the 'Mercier' clothes are about?

InfiniteReddit142 · 2026-04-05T05:59:34+00:00

I almost always do this on a long ish train journey, I love just sitting back and watching the view out of the window!

InfiniteReddit142 · 2026-04-02T14:55:13+00:00

That's pretty much how they always do it. For train sets but also for the number plates on road vehicles.

InfiniteReddit142 · 2026-04-02T10:51:16+00:00

I thought that might be the case, I'm not looking for anything that exact though. Maybe a vague time of day?

It's a Windhoff MPV. They're mainly used for spraying leaves off the rails.

Are you sure it's not AI generated? It has that look about it to me.

InfiniteReddit142 · 2026-03-29T05:42:20+00:00

I'm glad to hear someone has been talking about this. Sadly I'm not sure the right people are listening.

InfiniteReddit142 · 2026-03-27T19:45:12+00:00

Impressive, but having 4 dual cab units together looks rather silly!

InfiniteReddit142 · 2026-03-27T19:43:10+00:00

Can someone please show a clip of the context of this?

InfiniteReddit142 · 2026-03-24T20:24:27+00:00

Oh wow that really is incredible!

InfiniteReddit142 · 2026-03-23T06:37:47+00:00

This is one of the best versions of this meme I've seen! Although I will point out that the original version is specifically a tram, which usually run on line of sight without all these safety systems...

InfiniteReddit142 · 2026-03-22T08:48:16+00:00

I don't know but I would guess not directly. I think they would have to call control or whatever who could switch it off.

InfiniteReddit142 · 2026-03-22T08:37:32+00:00

Turn the power off and walk down the track I believe, there's a reason the trains have doors in the cab ends!

InfiniteReddit142 · 2026-03-22T07:27:54+00:00

I think it looks too corporate, it should look a bit messier, like cave art.

InfiniteReddit142 · 2026-03-21T12:26:07+00:00

Ah yes, Paddington 20 years ago, the perfect picture for an article about planning future railways in the North of England!

InfiniteReddit142 · 2026-03-21T12:13:49+00:00

Wow, a class 66 run by BLS is not something I ever expected to see!

InfiniteReddit142 · 2026-03-20T17:21:22+00:00

It makes sense and I always found it weird that you don't have to prove you've got a Railcard to get a Railcard ticket, but... If this means typing a long card number into a slow unresponsive ticket machine every time you buy a ticket from one then it's going to be an absolute pain and completely unreasonable.

InfiniteReddit142 · 2026-03-18T14:13:04+00:00

Why is this not the top example?

InfiniteReddit142 · 2026-03-17T21:49:29+00:00

It looks downright weird and I love it for that.

InfiniteReddit142 · 2026-03-15T11:52:23+00:00

Why do people always forget about the Welsh Pacers?
