The Taxi Project 1976: American Machine and Foundry New York Taxi Concept. Another submission for the MoMA exhibition with a steam engine, the AMF taxi was front engined using a uniflow two-cylinder engine from Carter Enterprises.
Why does my man’s need so much wood? Is he starving? Is he suffering malnutrition? Is he using an unhealthy coping mechanism? Is he wracked with the guilt of the crash? It’s not your fault. No one could have seen the car. You don’t have blood on your hands, you should be freed of this anguish. Please we want the old you back. Please. Does he just has a collection or logs?
Been wanting to draw a full scale steam engine, no tracing, full detail, for a while now. And @2023legendoflinkzine gave me a perfect excuse to draw the Spirit Train.
I made her a 4-4-0 mostly because it was the closest shape I could find while still being in the style of engine I wanted to draw. I since found a couple of tank engines closer to the original shape but I just really wanted to draw an engine like this. The Spirit Train deserves to be a full scale engine.
Anyways keep an eye on @2023legendoflinkzine !! Cool stuff will be coming from them soon!
Henry is so sweet he deserves everything in the world. I’ve surprisingly never drawn him digitally before which is a crime. But I’m really happy with this! The colour palette is inspired by The flying Kipper which is one of my all-time favourite episodes!
As a lower decker, Ensign Eaurp Guz doesn't have a lot of space for a model railroad. Arguably she could fit like a shelf layout precariously above her tub-bunk, but that's where she keeps some of her model spaceships. So instead, she builds larger scale model engines and runs them on the holodeck. Here's a roughly G gauge model of a Slopspit & Southern Class 80 "Easy"-type 2-6-0 steam engine with decorative smoke baffles. Like most of her models it's built with function in mind, so it's live steam.
Guz's model rockets and spacecrafts are either run in the holodeck, or in certain conditions on shoreleave or staged out of the shuttlebay on actual spaceflights. For example, the Orion Nuclear Pulse Rocket from Guzcomic was planned to make a round trip between Douglas Station and the planet's moon, DbII before it went and exploded itself, and the lunar lander she'd built for the Apollo 11 anniversary was going to actually land on the Moon.
When she can fully recover her models, she keeps them in storage and rotates them in the display above her tub-bunk.
Guz also has plans for a proper model railroad which would replicate a colliery circa 2350 with a late example of a revenue-earning steam locomotive in approximately HO-ish gauge, but it would require having her own quarters.
She's also kicking around plans to make a 1:4800 scale layout which would fit on a microscope slide.
