    12 Little pony in a little gondola. - Mayflower train set

    Art image 12
    If you couldn̢۪t tell by my name, I̢۪m big into trains, especially miniature ones. I operate and collect mostly O-gauge electric model trains, from manufacturers such as Lionel, MTH, and K-Line. I̢۪m looking to expand into pre-WW2 standard gauge trains, though I haven̢۪t amassed many pieces in that category yet.

    Anyway I have this short New York Central caboose made by Lionel that I often like to put my Funko POP Derpy figure in, and as you̢۪ll see in the video sometimes even take her on rides. The video and photo are both from 2017; I̢۪ve since moved and that layout is no longer up, though I still have all the trains of course. I apologize in advance for the awkward camerawork.

    (A fun fact for anyone who might remember the I Love Toy Trains video series: those silver-blue-orange diesels and passenger cars on the layout is the exact Spirit of the Century set used in the filming of I Love Lionel and I Love Toy Trains: Roar of the Rails.)



    13 Armory Ponies - Linus M

    Art image 13
    I am a fantasy and medieval enthusiast who's been collecting clothing, armor and weapons for well over ten years. This is my own little armory, that took me a year to finish but now it seems that some annoying little critters have taken refuge in it.

    25 Gardening with Applejack - EddoEditya28

    Art image 25
    Since I'm staying at home and not going anywhere due to the COVID-19 pandemic, why not taking care of my mom's "micro garden" with Applejack? Thanks to my mom who's now interested in gardening, I also become interested with it as well, so I took this opportunity to bring Applejack and snap her while planting some more red peppers.

    27 Studying With Music - Whistling Spear

    Art image 27
    What a perfect excuse to just study, study, and then study some more. But even then, one can't only do one thing alone, so maybe something musical perhaps? But with so many choices, one can quickly become overwhelmed. After finding something nice to learn, it is a good thing I have all these thick books

    Art image 28

    Art image 40
    I have a sweet tooth the size of Sweeten, One of my hobbies/passions is baking. I get particular pleasure baking sweets such as pies, cookies, doughnuts, etc. So it only made sense to get my new friend Twilight Sparkle involved. She's a natural and she looks really good in a toque. In this collage, I have included several of my past and present projects including homemade doughnuts, a delightful blueberry muffin bread with a homemade sugar glaze, banana chocolate coffee muffins, and Rice Krispie treats. Also included is one fun picture that I took of Twilight dressed up as a chef/baker at the kitchen where I work.

    One of my other sorta hobbies is dressing up in period costumes with a particular emphasis in 19th/20th century couture (what can I say? I like dressing fancy). Anyways, Since Twilight and I met at Bronycon last August, We have shared many opportunities to dress up in various costumes from both of us dressing up as pilgrims for Thanksgiving, Twilight Dressing up in her Spartan armor, a Victorian-inspired Christmas getup, a 1920's getup for the 2020 New Years holiday party at my work, Looking beautiful on Valentines Day, Standing next to my fencing class equipment (she tried on the helmet but it was a bit too big), or just lounging in her bathrobe with a cup of tea.

    58 Astrophotography with ponies finding the Orion Nebula - Christopher Seaton

    Art image 58
    Planning tonight's photos, waiting for the camera to connect, and success! And then the astrophoto itself. I cheated a bit, because that's not what it looks like when my tablet links with my camera, and it's the wrong time of year to photograph the Orion Nebula, which would never be in that direction anyway. However, that photo of the nebula is one that I actually took myself a few months ago, using pretty much this exact setup.
