Trying to stay paused
Hi, I’m not quite ready to sunset this, but the way Patreon handled billing pauses is really strange. It’s only offering me a “resume billing” option which I presume will not hit anyone til the first of the month. I will have paused billing by then so you shouldn’t get billed at all. At this…
End of the Line
Hi V&T Fans! I’m sad to write this message, it’s the end of the line for the V&T “Save the Reno” Patreon, as explained in our last post. The V&T Depot Discord lives on as a privately owned server, no long affiliated with the V&T officially. So far I have taken out the funds, there’s…

We will pause one more month and then sunset March…

Hi all and thanks for your patience with us. It’s been a very busy time at the V&T with working on #100 and keeping two steam locomotives (and some diesels) running. I have to be honest, there is content coming but Tom is having technical difficulties uploading it. We also have Camdyn on board now…
Tom in the Engineer’s Seat and Other Images
Hi, I hope you have sympathy for me! If you’ve ever been editing in Adobe and it crashed and you forgot to hit “save,” you know what just happened to me. I don’t have it in me today to redo it. And it wasn’t anything earth-shattering. So instead, for now, here’s a few shots from…
