A locomotive crewed by a song.

I think that there might be something other than coffee in that tin cup!

As I talking to Lon last night
 ( complete with a giant laughing emoji. As apparently a cats twitching ear is more tech savvy than I am.)

It occurred to me I don't even have a copy of the railway figures I made,and these are on the way to him. So my locomotive is  without a crew.
Which got the little grey cells whirling as I was trying to get to sleep
Since the locomotive is green-
I'll make myself a set of two - one short and one tall, for a fun contrast.- well if I'm doing that I might as well make a little fire side dragon just to fill up the floor space. - Locomotive is green..but it has too many wheels.- So If I'm going to do something with a Welsh inspiration,I might as well make the proper locomotive.-
Ooh I'm at Partizan on Sunday. Do I pick an MDF one up for speed- well it wouldn't be speedy because I'd get annoyed at the lazy design and end up remaking it.- Or do I just make one out of card , I've a bag of old HO wheel in the workshop. -  I think they're on the bottom shelf behind the tubs of House paint-.... Damn I've still the outside of the house to paint...

All thanks to The Grateful Dead,and Lon.

Great pic!

A lovely picture...

If you're making a steam engine with a Dragon, why not turn up the bonkers factor a bit and make something like the Rete Adriatica class 500:



As can be seen, these were reversed so that the cab was at the front of the locomotive, giving an excellent view. Coal was stored at the side of the boiler and water in a tender far away beyond the smoke box. I'm sure your dragon would appreciate having the extra space and a good view...

Is " ivor the engine" not got IP?

Great stuff as always

Hopefully see you Sunday

I think I'm safe,
Apparently I'm not the only idiot.

Thanks Andy,
Now I'm thinking that'll look good in a Space 1889 game.

Cheers Jon,
I'll be there so most probably. If I'm wandering around in a daze then you'll know who got to me first.

Looking forward to this taking shape.
Loved Ivor the Engine when I was a kid.
