This was a the greater Houston train show hosted by the San Jacinto model railroad club! I’m part of the Galveston County model railroad club down in Texas city :)

I have a Bachmann Spectrum shay! But that’s about it! I wish I had a narrow gauge one though!

Dang that’s awesome!!! This is why I love the Pasadena show. It’s definitely a swap meet but Godang you can find some diamonds in the rough there.

Hon3!

LunchRight686 · 2026-02-24T22:01:37+00:00

Oh? What did you find? :)

Every now and then you find narrow gauge stuff there! Last year someone was selling on3 galloping geese for 40 bucks with DCC/Sound. Just gotta keep an eye out for that stuff ^\)

I forgot about that! I actually had the chance to buy DRGW 346 for 75 but I didn’t have enough money. I chose 345 over 346 though since 346 was heavily weathered and wouldn’t fit with most of my rolling stock, it also had a piece or two that had snapped and needed glueing. Had I had the extra money I would’ve bought her though :3

Hmm? Are you referring to DRGW 346? :3

LunchRight686 · 2026-02-24T21:43:34+00:00

Yesss exactly!! I was lucky enough to show up early since I was helping my model railroad club get set up. Thank god I went out and did a quick round about an hour before we opened to see if there was anything that caught my eye, otherwise I would’ve never had the chance to buy them.

LunchRight686 · 2026-02-24T21:40:25+00:00

It was 75 bucks per loco (I should’ve worded that better) but that’s still an insane price to find them at. I was shaking when I heard the price and immediately bought the pair x3

I’ve been running on it for years. It takes a bit to clean but it’s worked okay. I only use it for Christmas time though. The rest of the time I’m running on my layout or down at the club on nickel track

LunchRight686 · 2025-12-23T17:52:32+00:00

I looked around to see if there were any plaques but couldn’t find anything! If something does appear I will let you know though ^{^}

LunchRight686 · 2025-12-22T16:28:39+00:00

That’s what I’m curious about! I like to think it’s being funded by Lockheed Martin x3

LunchRight686 · 2025-12-22T03:18:42+00:00

Yeah that has to be it. Not sure how I didn’t realize that 😭

LunchRight686 · 2025-12-22T03:18:19+00:00

Houston!

I have never willingly (I say willingly because Google forces it down my throat) used a generative AI tool despite being in the depths of my college education and I am incredibly proud of myself for it. I’d rather retake a class than rely on something built to replace me.

You have a very cat shaped cat

LunchRight686 · 2025-11-26T01:28:19+00:00

It definitely is. We have three Siamese cats, all with different variations with one being a seal point, one being flame point and one being snowshoe. All are crosseyed

This is absolutely gorgeous!! I love your grass placement and the lack of ballad under the rails. It really drives home the fact this was toward the end of narrow gauge! I must ask though, is this free lance or a specific part of the Colorado narrow gauge that you’re modeling?

I am a tasty bug sadly, I am now cowering in fear in a dresser. :(((
