ADORABLE FLOOF!!!!!!

floof with his trains!

Oh this is amazing, something I really need too given I have quite the hoard of model trains by this point!

I guess Nugget is a fan of first great western HSTs hah. I want one of those in my collection but for now only have the castle set in the lovely green

Oh! a fellow appreciator of model trains~ And yup! I absolutely love the hst in the first livery, having grown up around the time of their prominence. I... I have yet to purchase a model of such in the first livery with how pricey they are, defo need one though with all 8 carriages, including the buffet carriage of course.

Hah I’m an Aussie modeller but I’ve quite the growing collection of UK models too as I’ve always admired the trains there. In my case the FGW livery I know most from having driven the HSTs in the old train simulator wearing it hah.
I guess the Gwr castle set with the 4 coaches and the two power cars wasn’t too pricey (but certainly not cheap!) but I love running it. The only full-size UK train I have is a full GNER Intercity 225 set with the 91, 9 coaches and the DVT. That thing barely fits on my layout but it’s so pretty I just had to have it!

I still have yet to give train driving simulators a chance, I should really do soooo. Gwr castle sets are preeetty, shame that I didnt get to see em all that much before they got retired. Thats soooo cool! I do see intercity 225 sets running on our rails from time to time, just backup rolling stock with hollowed out engines being shunted from the back, still neat to see em.

I have quite a few of the different simulators. Some are better than others but I enjoy them all really. Mostly drive the UK stuff in them as British rail practice is very similar to Australian so easier for me to learn. Also lots of interesting stock and routes available.

I’d been wanting to get a ride on a HST but just not been able to get a trip to the UK. Guess I’ve missed my chance now given they all seem to be gone or on the way out. Those castle sets a friend of mine used to catch and yeah, I fell in love with that glossy dark green paint finish. So damn smart! Plus at four coaches and the power cars, it was the perfect size to fit on my layout and not block the points in the loops haha.
The 225s are really cool too. Those 91s in particular I’ve always loved the “designed with a ruler” angular shape to them. Still looks pretty futuristic if you ask me.

This is honestly really cute! I can understand the appeal, too. I don't have any myself, but I used to love watching the model train at the motor museum~

It's quite the expensive hobby to get into and you do need the space for it. I'm not entirely sure why I love trains so much, they aren't so different to cars and other forms of transport. Must be something to do with my childhood, the reliance upon them as a mode of transport, a gateway to happy memories spent with family, even if that meant rushing for a train on the cusp of departure.

I can understand that. I'm not really into cars and stuff, but I honestly love old steam trains, or really early diesel/electric trains. I remember going to the coastal towns in Devon when I was younger, and they had a lot of old style carriages on the small local lines!

Lovely. Remembers me when I was yung whelp, good times ^w^

Story never fails to capture artwork that is just so amazingly whimsical and fun! It's an inviting style and it really plays its part here, because I'm getting the full force of a lovable, adorable dragon who is having a blast with a model train! It's so freaking adorable, so much to the point where just looking at this would brighten ANYONES day!

Also NUGGET IS SO CUTE HERE, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA <3 <3 <3
