Lonewolf's customs (pic' heavy) Updated 8-19-15

Man I haven't updated this in ages.
Haven't done any pony customs for a while, but I did do some pony related stuff.

In November of last year I painted an HO scale model train engine and caboose in my own idea for Equestria's railroad colors. Then back in May I made a couple of cars to go with it:

I took them to Midwest Brony Fest and set up a small layout briefly:

I then made several more cars:

And a 2 car passenger train complete with silhouettes of ponies in the windows (have since added 2 more cars):

It and the first 2 cars I made actually got featured in EqD's custom compilations.   

And it culminated with this project that took almost 2 months to finish (from making the plans to finishing it):

I would like to do a few more buildings including Ponyville's station.


And it isn't a custom, but a couple years ago I picked up an early 80's era Lite Brite like the one I had when I was a kid. I recently got more pegs for it off Ebay and tried some pony art on it. Will try more soon.

EDIT: What the!!! How did the URL for this image become one for a pic' of Arabs on a plane? I think Tinypic is having issues with their tags as this isn't the first time. Here's the correct version:

Ooh, that train is really cool!  I love how you made the cars look like cars that would actually be on a real train!

Thanks. Yeah I wanted to shy away from"show accurate" stuff. Other people have done it.

And I've updated that post because  the URL that I copied for my Lite Brite pic somehow got swapped out by Tinypic for a completely different one.
