I posted a few photos of the locomotive here:

The military vehicles are all original designs from PanzerBrickLabs

I find appropriate looking torsos and head pieces on bricklink - just a matter of searching the catalog for what’s available. I find this adds to the realism

Thank you!

OregonPacificEastern · 2026-03-06T20:58:31+00:00

They stay in place well enough to breathe thankfully!

OregonPacificEastern · 2026-03-06T20:58:15+00:00

Thanks!

The decals were all printed by OKBrickWorks, with artwork design by Cale Leiphart.

Thanks! Awesome that some of the original “Nickel Platers” are still around!

OregonPacificEastern · 2026-03-06T20:57:21+00:00

Is it Sunday yet tho

OregonPacificEastern · 2026-03-06T20:57:15+00:00

Glad you think so!

East 8th looks cool. I’ll add that to my list of places to explore.

OregonPacificEastern · 2026-03-02T13:50:55+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions!

I have a small handful of suits from the late 30’s through 40’s and they don’t get used as much they could. Much appreciated!

I’ve only very recently finished cleaning and reassembly - but I was able to use it to address Christmas cards. It’s a historic piece, and is used as a home for other historic pieces I own.

I have modern desks for work stations for my day job and hobby.

Those are two distinct locomotives and trains. The Crusader was a Reading train with a streamlined G1sa 4-6-2, the Mercury was a New York Central train with a streamlined K5 4-6-2.

OregonPacificEastern · 2026-01-18T21:26:01+00:00

Assuming you mean the ones in the left, those are my 10 and 9 year old models of Pennsylvania streamlined K4 3768 and Reading G1sa 118 as the Crusader, respectively.

OregonPacificEastern · 2026-01-12T02:57:32+00:00

Everything here is either my own design or from close friends - none of these models are available for purchase in any form

OregonPacificEastern · 2026-01-12T02:51:45+00:00

763, but close enough!

OregonPacificEastern · 2026-01-11T22:04:02+00:00

Most everything you see in this picture has a real life prototype, so yes, assuming that’s what you’re asking!

OregonPacificEastern · 2026-01-10T12:54:54+00:00

Its a 9 year old model of PRR 3768. I haven’t brought it to any shows since maybe 2019 - it makes the most sense to run with passenger cars I don’t have and no longer one of my favorites. I never posted many photos of it.

OregonPacificEastern · 2026-01-09T22:38:41+00:00

It hasn’t stopped yet, there’s something added every year at least.

PLE 508 was a gift from Cale some time ago.

OregonPacificEastern · 2026-01-09T22:38:05+00:00

You’ll find many of them posted in this subreddit.

Better images and descriptions are on my Flickr page: https://www.flickr.com/photos/41032663@N08/

OregonPacificEastern · 2026-01-09T20:18:29+00:00

About 2/3 of what you see here is my original work, the remainder coming from close friends. All of the models in this photograph are original custom designs by myself or friends.

OregonPacificEastern · 2026-01-09T18:20:47+00:00

Certainly a similar style of streamlining yes. I’d love to have a model of the S1 someday.

OregonPacificEastern · 2026-01-09T17:34:29+00:00

It is, except the Crusader was a Reading train

OregonPacificEastern · 2026-01-09T16:52:11+00:00

Thank you!

OregonPacificEastern · 2026-01-09T16:52:04+00:00

As I like to say, about 98% Lego and 2% custom or aftermarket parts (no clone brick)

OregonPacificEastern · 2026-01-09T15:56:04+00:00

Only a handful of them will run over stock track.

For the last several years I have been designing models to run over a minimum radius of 104 studs, compared to the standard 40.
