Definitely a lot of PR fluff to sell it to the public, plus the allure of a private company doing this (albeit with the Federal government...
Guess so, but my main concern is that it's not a full-fledged actual HSR service. From what I know, the line will be primarily built as...
No routine. I run or work on my trains whenever I feel like it. It's a hobby. Not a job.
To be fair, the penalty is not as harsh as under- or over- counting the number of "Chugga-Chugga"s that go before "Choo Choo."
Welp, since The Former Suburban Baltimore Online Hobby Shop That Was Briefly Purchased By A Major British Model Train Retailer is now back in...
Went to Las Vegas this past week and did a little foaming en route during a snack/restroom break in Barstow, CA (Barstow Station McDonalds...
LOL, probably was written by AI. What a joke. There are way more than three mountain ranges in "the North America." The Sierra Nevadas, the...
[ATTACH] For Sale: Lot of 5 Red Caboose 73' Centerbeam Cars. All cars are in original boxes, in excellent condition and have been upgraded with...
I used to ba an MR subscriber in the 1990s (when I was an HO scaler, so it wasn't a big deal back then). When I converted to N scale in 2006, I'd...
We all know that Kalmbach Publishing, William K. Walthers Co. and the NMRA are the co-conspirators behind the HO Scale Industrial Complex.
80% of my modeling screw-ups are related to DCC installations. The other 20% are drilling holes a few nanometers off.
I've been hearing of ESU failures in relatively recent batches. It sounds like it could be a component issue from a source supplier.
I'm so glad CBS This Morning mentioned Stewart's and Holland's common hobby interest. Rod and Jools were both on the Kelly Clarkson show the other...
I got a bottle of the same glue standing just 3 inches from this laptop. It's one of my secret weapons for DCC loco installs - they work wonders...
Saturday 2/17: There was a train show (Great Train Show, Ventura, CA) in my region but I just skipped it. I went there last year and it was cool...
Fortunately I'm glad to report a happy ending here. I got my replacement ESU 58741 decoder (plus the ALC-42 sound profile installed) in the mail a...
Modern auto racks either use 33" or 28" wheels. The majority actually use 33". The only N scale models whose prototype uses 28" wheels are the...
"Lumbering" - I see what you did there. :D Speaking of Lumber, I know exactly where this train came from - By the fully-loaded centerbeams, it's...
Yes, Cryo-Trans had individual names for all of their 2,200 liquid CO2-cooled mechanical reefer cars. That was kind of their thing. But the...
It's so pathetic it's almost comical. It all started last year when I bought the new Kato ALC-42 when it just came out in early 2023. I bought an...
