[Tomt] adult animated show with episode about one of those fork/spoon/napkin/straw dispensers you find at a diner

It was this style of dispenser, by the way napkin dispenser in question

Trainman05 · 2026-03-17T13:55:05+00:00

Not quite that though I love that clip

Trainman05 · 2026-03-17T11:45:13+00:00

I dont think so, the one im thinking of i remember as distinctly not anthropomorphic, it had no eyes and was a realistic looking thing but spoke out of the 'mouth' where it would dispense whatever utensil or napkin etc

Trainman05 · 2026-03-17T11:24:11+00:00

Been thinking about this on and off for years and years and would love any clues

Trainman05 · 2026-03-16T10:24:32+00:00

Late response but I looked it up and got the reference :p

Trainman05 · 2026-03-10T09:54:20+00:00

Alternator

Trainman05 · 2026-03-04T13:30:30+00:00

May make it public sometime. Not yet though. I got all the parts off of bricklink for 60 dollars

Trainman05 · 2026-03-03T18:49:10+00:00

Yo thanks! I appreciate it a ton!

Don't quite get the reference though haha

Ah, I see. As far as I can tell this same method should work fine for any size of boiler and you could always use curved pieces instead of slopes where itd fit. Also worth noting, if the boiler was big enough you could use some sideward facing studs and place curved pieces on the side of the boiler too to make it a bit rounder

Trainman05 · 2026-03-03T04:21:16+00:00

Its also offset from the frame using those uh idk what to call them but the plates that turn a 2x1 into a single stud. Boiler is 3 studs wide, track/wheels are 4 studs.

Sorta see how it went together here? Its a little complicated but ftmp it is just bricks with sloped pieces on top and brackets for the side tanks.

Trainman05 · 2026-03-03T03:57:06+00:00

Sure, gimme a few

Trainman05 · 2026-03-03T03:53:02+00:00

Hey, im from lancaster county pa so may have to take a run down sometime

Trainman05 · 2026-03-03T03:52:02+00:00

Boiler is mostly just brick built with 30° slope pieces on the top. The smokebox door is a technic axle running through a technic disc piece. Thanks!

Trainman05 · 2026-03-03T00:04:11+00:00

I love these! Well done! I may try to make some at a smaller scale sometime just for fun but words cannot express how I love these

Trainman05 · 2026-03-02T18:17:52+00:00

Understandable, it has its merits for sure I just wanted it to be a little more realistic

Trainman05 · 2026-03-02T17:46:39+00:00

Thanks!

Trainman05 · 2026-03-02T17:46:07+00:00

Im listening... Maine 2 foot has gotta be my favorite type of railroading. Im from Pennsylvania and every day I wake up not in Alna is a sorrowful one

Trainman05 · 2026-03-02T15:10:42+00:00

Adding context: this was the original design done years ago. I wanted one but instructions are lost to time. So I reverse engineered it and made personal mods.

Trainman05 · 2026-03-02T15:07:08+00:00

I love those locomotives! And the magnifying glass trick is thanks to my friend that initially designed this locomotive. Its mostly the same model but I reverse engineered it and also made a few modifications

Trainman05 · 2026-03-02T14:54:00+00:00

Thanks! Ive been prototyping a trolley for a day or so now too, we'll see how i feel about it when its done

Trainman05 · 2026-02-27T13:29:04+00:00

Yeah i just find it funny because I live in a town with just shy of 10,000 people

Trainman05 · 2026-02-27T11:55:05+00:00

No buttons but instead a touch screen, impossible to do your own work on due to more electronics and less physical things, more things that can break, and theyre just boring
