The Fort Wayne area is "a bit" out of my roaming region, but maybe someone a little closer will want to get out to see it tonight. Butler: 12:50 a.m. Waterloo: 1:08 a.m. Kendallville: 1:27 a.m. Ligonier: 1:45 a.m.

Workshop is done. And this is what i did today #modelrailroad #h0scale #workshop

I really need to mess with some tiny model trains, this weekend, but it looks like I'm going to have "homework" to do, to get things taken care of at work, before December 1st.😖 I'd rather do it this weekend, than over the holiday.

My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

*looks around at assorted trash fires* HEY KIDS, WANNA COOK A STREET CORN SMASH BURGER TACO WITH UNCLE KEVIN? LET’S GO! You don’t even have to do the burger part. Just the street corn will measurably improve your life. So let’s start there. Open a can of corn, dump in a skillet with oil, & char 1/

The location will welcome patrons for the last time on December 12 to make way for a new facility.

One of my pet peeves is when journalists who have BlueSky accounts breathlessly post live updates to Twitter and just ignore this platform. Why are you choosing to only communicate with the Nazis when you have millions of intelligent and hungry news consumers *right here* waiting for you?

Aurora color guide! What creates the different shades? Different atoms getting "excited" at different altitudes The bright reds are a sign of a particularly intense event

This is just one example of how highway design in an urban area leads to messed-up results. Read more about this in “Accidentally On Purpose” by Strong Towns member Michel Durand-Wood on our blog. buff.ly/YafC5U6

The next time someone tells me double crossovers aren't prototypical....

Let's look at who voted yes. Abandoned the voters and if you believe that Republicans will abide by the so called "agreement", I have a bridge to sell you.

Tiny Model Trains!😊🚂 I put my modules together, Friday night. Got things running smoothly(-ish) yesterday. Today, it was finally time for fun, with my Southern Crescent and Illinois Central ... uh ... bits. The music it a bit loud....🤦

Well, this would have been nice to have, before the last show, two weeks ago! It popped up on eBay, just days after.🤦😂 Maybe I can assemble a full City of New Orleans or Panama Limited, for next time. Well, time to do something about that table.😊🚂

My layout, since the end of the train show, weeks ago.😭 I needed to *make* the time to do something about this, this weekend.

Don't forget ... or something like that....

Yay! My layout is still unassembled. I haven't recovered from October 22nd - 27th, yet. www.nmra.org/news/nationa...

PSA for all trans girls, and I do mean all

A couple of photos from the train show, today. Yesterday was beyond slow; they were waiting for us to get things rolling as soon as the library opened, today!

A new train-friend arrived yesterday! Almost no time to work on it, with last night being Board Game night with the students, but it does move under it's own power, now. It desperately needs a good cleaning and fresh grease. Giving it a bit of run-time, while I work.

I need to remember to order more of these, the next time I get stuff from the parts store.

Whelp. Today has peaked, and I've only been awake 15 minutes. Just look at this cool cat driving a shoe.

hey maybe uh companies shouldn’t own all the houses and maybe like i should get like just one of them bc thats the amount of houses a person needs

i think he should join the girls team because it would be funny

Nielsen was foolish enough to send me a survey. I was foolish enough to spend *that much* time answering their questions. They are going to be very disappointed. I don't go to the theater, or watch a lot of TV, and I'm not buying appliances; I have model trains, which they did not ask about.

The Wagen is (mostly) tetris'd for Saturday morning. Two short stacks of boxes to pack-in Friday and Saturday mornings, and some folding tables Thursday morning. I'm way ahead of schedule, for a change. 🎉😊🚂

If you're a writer/other creator in the United States, consider creating an LLC for your business and then signing up for a local area Chamber of Commerce. Many of them have health insurance plans that pool their members and members of other CoCs to create insurance efficiencies relative to ACA.

Whoo-hoo!! Billionaire-conglomerate-owned local news, running a story about drugs in candy for Halloween! I'm gonna have to dress-up again, and try and get some of that. Stuff's expensive!

I know I've reposted this previously. I just ran into a representative from the "that's not prototypical" brigade, at train club, Friday night, and wanted to find this again. maps.app.goo.gl/wWc1b88EPEek...

2329 in the queue for Rush tickets; $172 was already over the limit for 2 of our 4. I offered to pick up the difference. By the time I heard back, price was over my limit. It's A (sad) Farewell to Kings.

Well, how have I not noticed that?!?😂 I *was* pre-drilling my module, so I can more easily change it later, and just discovered the screw holes don't line up! The double crossover matches the #6 Turnout, so I would guess a single crossover matches the #4. 🤷

Well, it's 2 weeks to the next show. Time has run out to guarantee the arrival of Illinois Central equipment. Last night was a train club meeting. Or first show next year will be in Princeton, IN. I guess I'm on board the Southern Railway, now. Always keeping an eye out for C&EI, though.

Since I mentioned Bucyrus-Erie, again, here's their former operations in Evansville, Indiana. Also, because I suck at identifying draglines, this is probably a Marion 8950. When I first found that photo, I though it was a B-E 3270W, but now I'm not so sure. I choose it for scale.

I dont use ai I draw for myself I try hard to learn skills I write my own poetry i make things by myself I use whatever is at my disposal I am not restricted to sloppy programs that destroy our web and pollute our rivers if I want to express and idea I sit down and write and rework and rewrite

I can't recall who was making sidewalks (and roads) with or without grass growing through it, for their model railroad, but here's a bit of grass growing through the road and sidewalk.

At the place, for the thing, and a late lunch.

I haven't really posted model trains "in a minute". This is the current state of my layout. Nearly all the scatter buildings and trains are still boxed-up, too. Next show is in 18 days, and I've got maybe 5 of those where I don't have something going on.🤦

I enjoyed this movie. This scene is completely irrelevant to anything. youtu.be/N2TpTEwRH94?...

🚨BREAKING NEWS!!!! 🚨 Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson have decided to dust off their instruments and bring back the #Rush tour machine with new drummer Anika Nilles for a 7 city, 12 date tour in 2026! www.rushisaband.com/blog/2025/10...

Accidentally stumbled across a copy of Pig vs. KMFDM "Sin, Sex & Salvation" on eBay, about a week ago. It arrived yesterday. Dang, I've missed this EP! It "vanished" with an ex, about 25 years ago. What took me so long to even think of searching Mercari and eBay?🤦🤡

Duck, what a day. 🤦 Narrator: He most certainly did not say "duck".

Please be on the lookout for these stolen locos.

Just going to leave this here so I can easily find it again. Not for this reason, but that King's Dinner sounds insane. #IC #PanamaLimited www.streamlinerschedules.com/concourse/tr...
