I’ve seen joint bars done in HO scale, and I wanted to see if it wasn’t too difficult in N Scale, so tried adding them to a length of Code 55 Micro Engineering track. Bars are from PrawnDesigns and made for code 80, so some tiny sanding was required to fit but I think it works!

well that’s a fantastic first, UPS delivered a package for me to someone else because it was very clearly signed for by someone else 🙃 guess I’ll see if any neighbors stop by later today and if not I’ll have to contact the shipper to open a claim, ugggggh

Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility! We're everywhere and we're cool. Here's the trans pride flag 🏳️‍⚧️ on a mid-90s Pentium running DOS.

Steve says, sorry, this seat is taken (all of it, despite occupying very little of it) 😸

Gay-tainer has made a little friend (was told Jacksonville Terminal Company made a 20’ container, so had to pick one up!)

ouch, new high score 📈⛽️

phew, all my business suits passed the sniff test™️, so don't need to get them dry cleaned 🐶👍👔

last reskeet: just the other day I was wearing a shirt, which was made by Pleasures as a reproduction of the shirt DiCaprio wore in Romeo + Juliet and explained that to someone who complimented me on it who had NO IDEA that movie existed (and if you haven’t seen it, you REALLY SHOULD)

also nobody in the history of cinema has ever gone as hard as John Leguizamo did as Tybalt

mondays aren’t so bad when you start the day with something sweet~ (and a bit salty!) 🍪🐶❤️

Every once in a while, I still think about this scene from the King of the Hill reboot, which was fantastic. And that comes from someone who grew up with the show. "It's nice to be nice." Such a simple and effective message.

Best railcar graffiti I've ever seen

I'm not complaining, just VERY confused that katousa.com has a video that plays on the homepage showing their model trains, but every so often the lizard from Hoppers appears???

uggggh, on one hand I'm grateful I have some work coming up in another week, but on the other it requires flying to the east coast for a week, and I at the moment I definitely don't feel like I have the energy for it 😭

was going to be productive today, but then I ate two cookies for lunch and took a nap 🍪🍪🐶💤(rudely interrupted by my mother calling for tech support help)

best to use both paws to maintain positive control of your poultry, especially if you have a cock as big as mine~ 🐶❤️🐓

Seattle Metro is opening their crosslake extension today, and the response has been feral

important to start your day with a nice, deep stretch to get you ready to take whatever the day may have to give you! 🐶❤️

It's 1am what am I doing

Speaking of “unrealistic” locomotives/car pairings… (and I’m reminded of that recent Reddit post musing if gas gets too expensive, could steam make a comeback???) Here’s a 4-6-6-4 Challenger steam locomotive hauling 1.6 miles of Thrall LoPac 2000 articulated container cars 🚂

I should get a GP9, but the nice thing about model railroading is rule #1 (it’s your railroad!) and personally I’ve always wanted to see a Roseville Repaint tunnel motor pulling SP Commute coaches

got service dog duties this weekend, so per tradition, baked a TON of cookies this afternoon for my LGBTQ+ recovery group (and a plate of extra for me) 🐶❤️🍪🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

think I’m ready to end the workweek and get to work with a different grind~ 🐶❤️

It was good! They had A LOT to cram in, and managed to put most of the book in it, while remaining under 3 hours (good DOG does the He-Man movie look terrible though, seems like a movie that should’ve come out like 10 years ago)

mavis beacon did not teach you typing so you could make such terrible posts

excited tonight to see Project Hail Mary tonight, I reread the book a few months ago so very interested to see how it's been adapted to the big screen! also reminded me of some great sci-fi movies that I want to rewatch (Moon, Ad Astra and guilty pleasure: Sunshine)

had the worst schnitzel last night with “spätzle” that was just elbow macaroni, but then I got some super cute stickers made by @derptiles.art at Don’t Eat Me in Mountain View, so the evening wasn’t a total loss!!! 🐶👍

Bought a possum bag. Steve is not amused.

yeah im bummed about sora. bummed i sora bunch of stupid fake videos

good advice! 🐶🐾

wrong shirt, but a trains a train! 🐶❤️🚊

I'm envious of (and I mean this in the best possible way) of seeing model train layouts that are the roughest looking tables of 2x4 and plywood, because they at least have a layout to run trains, while I do not but have a whole lot of analysis paralysis instead

Help this shit has me in tears

tip to tail, I’m ready for hump day~ 🐶❤️

a very sweet 16 (months) to me, an amount of time clean and sober which I couldn’t have fathomed 17 months ago 🙌🐶🎉

Leaf That Came Out Too Early Cold As Shit

more annoyed to be told my job application is "waitlisted" rather than that they're going with another candidate (which they explain that they are)

Here are 5 menswear outfits to make recruitment officers think you're 43 🧵

Shame it doesn’t really show up in photos, but Intermountain auto racks are see through, much like the prototype, so you can stuff ‘em full of cheap vehicle models and in person you can tell at a glance if they’re loaded or not 🚂🚗🚙🚗🚙🚗

planets with real furries

Testing the new garage lighting installed by tiny rail fanning with my T-Trak module 🚂📸 catching a Southern Pacific freight train with autos from Oakland and cement from Redwood City (BNSF will get to repainting that 2-bay at some point, but in the meantime you can see it’s not the first repaint!)

that was a dumb mistake! microphones have direction??? who knew! (not me, clearly) 🎤🐶

I’m AIMing for your screen name~ 🐶💻❤️ 👕: @solardog.bsky.social / solonsite.com

couldn't find a pair of my sunglasses yesterday had a dream last night they fell out of my laptop bag and got trampled (was VERY sad 😭), but once I woke up I was like "that's a silly dream, they wouldn't get trampled, they'd be in their case in that bag" and that's where they were! thanks brain!

Big purchase requires big Internet. This is simple math

happy puppy day! 🐶 (not a puppy anymore, but I’m still young at heart at least!!! 😅) 🧵🪡: @sarahcatfursuits.com

The Transportation Technology Center in Pueblo Colorado, owned by the Federal Railroad Administration is used to test locomotives and rolling stock, which has included Caltrain's EMUs, but also the Peacekeeper Rail Garrison mobile ICBM launch platform, which is an interesting juxtaposition to see

like my burritos like I like my partners: thick and WET 🐶❤️🌯💦

Let there be light! 💡 Mini project with @danmakudragon.bsky.social to add more lighting in the garage where the hobby/workshop area is! 💪🐶💪🐲
