My Train Blog

February 6, 2009

Hey hey Hey! Whatzup? I just made a new site dedicated to uploading railways made on my Trainz 2006 so that everyone can have a chance to try them out. My site is called, "Sodor Railroading Builders." Here is a link below:

http://www.sodorrailroadingbuilders.jimdo.com/

It is a really cool site. I even hired some of the Fat Controller's Engines to help me on the site. There are no downloads on the site yet, but I plan to upload some stuff soon. We'll see. ;) My sister is turning 2 months old next Thursday. Well, that's pretty much I have to say today. Please remember to check my site later. Thanks!

Dry rails and good running,

Nic

I went to the Lego Store and seen this cool, Digital Box - How it works - You hold up a box of Lego's, mine was the Train set up and it will display the toy in 3D on top of the box. How cool is that. I can see what the finished product will look like before I buy it. I'm holding a 3D train in my hands.

Yellow! I'm expecting a new baby sister on Dec. 13th! It'll be awesome to have another kid to play with in the house. I'm working on reopening an old railway on the Island of Sodor. It'll be called the Mid-Sodor Heritage Railway, Sodor's first and only (for now) heritage railway. This railway will be built on the trackbed of Duke's old railway, and will feature 5 rare engines, 4 of which has been built by the Welsh Ffestiniog railway, and the last engine is the ONLY one to survive from the old MSR's past, Smudger. Expect to see the railway reopen in Feb. 2010. Well, gotta get back to work. Bye!

 What's up dudes? Recently, I went to a shopping center in Denver and found 2 $1.00 bills. Pretty cool, eh? Later, I plan to get a new toy from Wal-Mart made by Mattel. It is a really cool toy. It's called "Xtractaurs." In this game, you get a DNA extraction gun and plug it into your PC. Then, you plug it into a dinosaur minifigure, and it extracts it's DNA into your computer, and then, it is saved in the Xtractaurs website. Then, get more DNA samples from other dinosaurs, and make a dinosaur with mixed combinations of different DNA. Then, you can fight them online with somethings called "Megavores." My Trainz 2006 game crashed yesterday, and now I have to reinstall it all over again. What a ripoff!! ):( Well, that's all for now. See ya.

Well, I just got back from Tennessee, and had a wonderful birthday. The YouTube committee said that one of my videos was so popular, they asked me to advertize it so they could give me money. I went to Tinytown, Colorado on my birthday, and I got the new Thomas movie, "Hero Of The Rails," and wooden Spencer, Emily, Hiro, and Victor. They are so cool! Be on the lookout for a video of them! Well catch ya all later!

Hello! I moved in to Idaho Springs, CO, and it's awesome! (even though the wind is bad here) There is a lot of stuff to see and do. There is a river, with trees around me and deer and goats coming along to eat the plants. Didn't see any carnivores yet though, thank goodness for that. There is a train on display at City hall. the locomotive was #60, from the now-deceased Colorado & Southern Railway. They also have a fossil shop near the old steel road bridge. They sell very good and cheap fossils, rocks, and jewelry, down from trilobites to big fish and amber. (No dinosaur bones sadly) Idaho springs was even better than my old town itself! Well, gotta go now. SEE YA!!!!!!

Hello people. today, I am eating a special type of chicken nuggets for dinner. If I were voting today, I would vote for John McCain 'cause he ta' man! I also watched "Magic School Bus" episodes on youtube for science today! Is that awesome or what?  I gotta go now. SEE YA! I also have the Flu.

October 20, 2008

School work is under way today. I hope to get done soon so I can make some more Thomas Episodes.  My mom updated the cell phone screen savers and uploaded more photo's.

October 18, 2008

Hello people. My mom has uploaded more Thomas videos from DailyMotion, to replace the older ones. We carved a pumpkin today, and we are making a pumpkin pie and roasting pumpkin seeds. I had a fun day today. I built a train route on my Trainz 2006 game, based on Great Waterton, from the new Thomas movie, "The Great Discovery."  I am downloading a Ffestiniog railway route so I can use it in a series I am making for YouTube. Well, that's all for now. SEE YA!

October 6, 2008

Hello. Today was a bad day for me. I watched a bad-word-free video about Duke, but Mom believed there was a bad word when the narrator said "dime" in an Southern Texas accent. Thanks to her, I cant watch it anymore. I'm so angry at her. I recently went on a trip to Colorado. It was good. I liked it. I recently got a new camera, and I'm proud of it. I went to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. (www.cmz.org).  It was exciting. I saw elephants (my favorite animal, besides the dinosaurs.), tigers, giraffes, monkeys, gorillas, and a lot more creatures. Gotta go now. Bye.

September 24, 2008

I got a Lego Racers "outdoor challenger," and it was awesome!  The racer goes 11 MPH! That's really fast!, It can go through any terrain (except deep water), and it does jumps, donuts, and more. It is the coolest toy I've got so far! My family and I are going camping in Colorado soon, and I am excited. I am singing off now. Goodbye!

September 1, 2008

Hello people! Two days ago, was my birthday! I got a Lego Indiana Jones motorcycle chase pack yesterday. It is fun! There is a new episode of Thomas & Friends put up on the tv. Get this, it's in CGI animation! Thomas's eyes blink, his mouth moves, and he changes expressions any time he wants! It's so awesome! In the season of next year, it will be fully animated. Watch the non-animated episodes before you watch the CGI-animated episodes, because you might never see them again on telly-vision again! Well that's all for now. Good-bye!

Hello everyone, sorry I've been gone so long.  I've been busy with Zoo Tycoon 2, that I have forgotten about this. I've finally learned how to make Thomas trains and reskin them and such. I use Shape viewer and TGATool2 to reskin Microsoft Train Simulator engines to make them look like engines from the Thomas & Friends series. I've also posted my first two videos on YouTube last month, and coming up is my Thomas reskins videos. Be on the lookout for "Once there was a Duke" by the Railway Inspector, because I'm going to get a part in this. To find my account, go to http://www.youtube.com/ and search for Nictrain123 (my account) and click the big blue "Nictrain123" letters in the gray rectangle. Then when you've got my account page loaded, go to the gray rectangle that says "Videos."  Choose which video to watch, then click the title of which video you want to see and then, enjoy the show.

I've recently went to Fresno for an oxygen therapy, and I've came back taller and healthier than ever before. Well, that's all I've had to say. (walks outside) Comets AWAY! (flies through the sky at approximately 10,000 mph.)

I know I haven't written anything in my blog lately but I have been very busy. I like to play on my moms camera and make stop motion movies and upload them to the internet. My mom is updating my site so it will be up and running shortly. Check back soon.

November 6, 2007

I'm going to make a Thomas story series today. I'll post it on a Zoo Tycoon 2 fan site, called Zoo Tycoon Volcano. I'll even reskin my Snowdon Mountain Railway Locos, and carriage to look like the engines from the Culdee Fell Mountain Railway on Sodor. I'm going to get the coolest Zoo Tycoon 2 expansion pack, "Extinct Animals" for Christmas! We went to a Thomas theme park at San Francisco, not too long ago. It was fun! I bought a DVD at the gift shop at Knapford Station. We had a great week. Well, that's all for now. Keep checkin' back for more! to go to ZTV, go to: http://www.zootycoonvolcano.net/  and see my topics about ZT2, and Thomas!

     This is Nic coming to you live from Blog News!

    Last weekend, was amazing.  Me & my mom & dad went to San Diego.  We saw turtles & tortoises at the "San Diego Turtle & Tortoise Show."

 We also saw some model railroad trains at the model Railroad museum, and saw a steam engine go on a excursion over Tehachapi Pass, and it looked a lot like Santa Fe 3751, only its number was 3781. 

Then, we traveled back in time and saw how Albertosaurus ate, how mammoths went extinct, and saw one of the biggest whale skeletons at the San Diego Natural History Museum. 

Yesterday, on Monday, I downloaded some trains for my Microsoft Train Simulator. They were all from England.  If you have Microsoft Train Simulator, and you aren't happy with what you got, go to the UKTrainSim website: http://www.uktrainsim.com/, and register for free, and download what you want.  That's all the time we have for today! This is Nicholas, signing off!

Hello people. This weekend was great and I have some exciting new news for Thomas Lovers. http://www.sixflags.com/discoveryKingdom/index.aspx All aboard as Discovery Kingdom near San Francisco gets remodeled and adds a Thomas the Tank Engine Theme in their park.  We got to go to Great America theme park in Santa Clara and Gilroy Gardens where there is water park stuff to play in and it was a lot of fun.  We stopped by Fisherman's Warf in Monterey and had some of the best clam chowder my stomach has ever tasted.

I am adventuring into 7th grade next year and I will never grow out of Thomas the Tank engine, no not ever.

Hello people! This is Nicholas coming to you live from the BQ-274!  Today, Mom has copied some Thomas episodes- original, MSTS, and Tomy Trains versions!  I finally got to view my favorite episodes for the first time! That's all we have for today's Blog News!  Stay tuned for more!

April 24, 2007

Hello.  Today, I am going to redo the "Stuart Little 2" movie by updating it as a comedy version, a Nicoladian Language version.  On the DVD: if you put it in your computer, you can dub your voice over some of the script in the movie.  It's a cool CD effect.  I found an old coal mine in my backyard, and discovered a geyser that's water formation was shaped like an arch. It is called "Arch Geyser."  I've been busy on the Island of Sodor, controlling all the trains for Sir Topham Hatt while he was away.  I'm also helping out some people building a new railroad in England.  

Prince Caspian 'Narnia II' is coming out May 2008. I am looking for a countdown Widget to go on my Website.

Gotta go..

It has been a bus load of a  year, Train Simulator 2004 has so many things to down load. I can view the trains in so many directions it's amazing. http://www.magandy.com is where I get my Thomas the Tank Engine Downloads to put on my Train Simulator 2004. My mom has been updating my Thomas Site and changed my "Radio" Link around and now the radio page has moving Thomas around the screen.  I got off my gluten free diet just a little bit for Easter and had some Easter candy. It was delicious. We are getting a new place to move into soon and I will update my site with new train pictures! See ya..

July 13, 2006

I watched Pirates of the Caribbean 2, and went to Tennessee for my Grandma's family reunion. I played Zoo Tycoon today. It didn't have trains in it, but I still liked it. I had a lot of things I did a lot of things while I was up in Tennessee. I had a lot of fun. I went swimming a lot at night.  That's all of today's blog, folks!

BON VOYAGE!!!

Hi! I got The Magic School Bus Explores the Ocean game from Ebay. My mom is selling Italian Charms on my home page on my website of Thomas the Tank Engine. I got two new Thomas DVDs for Easter. It was yesterday. I went to church with my family, and learned about the Easter story. I am also a fan of CATSCRATCH ( a kid's show on Nickeloden). I am going to move into my new home on Christmas. Ain't that cool?
 

See ya later, Brickulator!

I watched Ice Age 2: The Meltdown two nights ago. I have been waiting to see it.

I was learning about fossils in my science book. Its about creation and biblical science. I've learned that the Ice Age did not cover the entire earth. It only covered certain parts of land, and the fish fossils got buried with the dinosaur fossils and learned there were a worldwide flood.

My favorite part of Ice Age 2, is when Manny and Ellie found love at first sight.

February 20, 2006

Hello everyone! We went to Calico Ghost Town today. It is in the mountain range west of Yermo, CA.  There, I got to see what Calico was like during the Civil War age. I got to see Abraham Lincoln. I also saw some of Calico's historic landmarks and places like the old Calico and Odessa Railroad, The Mystery Shack, Maggie's Silver Mine, and lots others.

I got new downloads from http://www.uktrainsim.com/  for my Corris railway. I will drive lots of trains on them. I got 4 of Wales' greatest trains:  The Talyllyn, Corris, Welsh Highland, and Ffestiniong railroads.

Gotta go now! BON VOYAGE!!!!!

Hi! I am Nicholas. I am 10 years old. This is my online blog. I had a wonderful Christmas, got to see Narnia, and went to Knott's Berry Farm and rode on 3 trains there. There is lots of cool and exciting things going on in my life. I got Trainz Railroad Simulator 2004- Deluxe Edition and is the king of all my cd-roms because It is my favorite and play more with it than my other CDs. You can play on railroads that came with it, or create your own railroads and activities. You can also drive trains on your railroad because like my Uncle David used to say: "Every railroad has got to have a train."  I am reading all the books in "The Chronicles of Narnia" by CS Lewis. Gotta go now.
