The word “abolish” is too soft. Too gentle after everything. Is there a word for what happened to Mussolini? Whatever it is, we need to do that to you know who.

Ignore the interlopers flanking my two horrible idiot children whom I love nonetheless

We are pleased to report that the previously identified technical issues with our 'Port of Par' locomotives have now been resolved.

The team has worked tirelessly to ensure these can be in your hands for Christmas.

Shipping will commence early next week.

How To Assemble Fourmill Models' Bachlin BR 78 Valve Gear Kit YouTube video by Fourmill Models

If you've been seeing my valve gear etches for the Bachmann Henry and Gordon models and want to know how to get your hands on them, this video is for you! Please give it a watch.

Been a while since I posted anything meaningful here, sorry about that. To hopefully make up for it, here’s running footage of the finished Bachlin BR 78 etched valve gear for the Bachmann Henry and Gordon models! Order form and assembly tutorial coming soon.

Congratulations on winning him!

Holy shit

For those of you who know me, you know one of my hobbies is 16mm and I have an assorted fleet of little scrunklies!

For those who don't, here's a thread talking about each one:

Rapido I love you

Once this whole deal is done I’d like to see about making Edward Thomas’ or Douglas’ valve gear next I mean what huh huh what huh

Nearly there, nearly there.

Absolutely, this is just to test the sizing before I finalize the design for the etch. I even filament printed some coupling rods at varying wheelbases and found that 49.5 seems to be it for Gordon.

I’ll be putting out an announcement once I have everything nailed down perfect. Any day now 🤞

Yall don’t even know, but you will soon enough.

Wishing you the best right now Tim ❤️❤️❤️

The progression of your modeling and painting skills is mind boggling, incredible work

Happy international transgender day of visibility!

To celebrate, let us commemorate LBSC or Lillian "Curly" Lawrence , arguably the most prolific model engineer and an inspiration to thousands

Ages ago I designed a body for the Bachmann HO Scale Emily chassis to make it more resemble a real Stirling single. I'm releasing it mostly finished, only missing a smokebox door and other small details. Have fun with it!

The only parts that will be reused from the original valve gear will be the wheel screws, crank eccentric, and the cross head. Currently working out how the valve gear hanger will be fitted to the chassis but I have some ideas at the moment. Trying to minimize the amount of bending needed.

Im working on replacement Marklin-style etched rods for the Bachmann Gordon/ Henry models. What you see here are a printed test batch. If you're interested in helping test out the experimental etched batches, I'll be putting out feelers soon. Custom printed cylinders will also be required for these.

Meanwhile I take ages just to make ONE model! Great stuff here as always from you

The non-train world-building autism has been beating my ass so here's a work-in-progress breakdown of the Sudric language and its likeliest influences.

Green highlights = Close or exact match
Orange = dubious match
Red = no found match
Yellow = my own research on Sudric root words.

More to come?

First post on bluesky! I'll be rebranding my account from JMS-Models to Fourmill Models in about a month's time. If/ when people follow over from my old twitter I don't want them to be too confused about who I am.
