The sun is coming out over a picturesque Providence. This is a much cooler place than I thought it would be. Off to NYC again tomorrow. Then who knows? Maybe home? Maybe hang out a week in mid Atlantic?

Red is nice and slightly more orangey and less true. Green should be even more improved than the saturated, bright emerald the stock LEDs were

#1940s #WorldWarII #Trains #History C&NW roundhouse around December 1942, This was during wartime and many locomotives were being serviced due to the war efforts of WWII and many steam engines could be seen

#1950s #Chicago #Trains C&NW H class on the turntable in Chicago south side, Here we see many other locomotives ranging from small switchers to Pacifics inside their stalls. This location is now a park within the city limits

If I showed up with this, they'd probably kick me out of the club.🤣 Still, at the last show, there were more girls at my "kids table", than boys. At one point, it was even *all* girls. A Hello Kitty Shinkansen! ebay.us/m/5xWOxT

The locomotive together with the trailer. Now that the model is completed, I'll be back to the Tarta build from next week on. #woodcraft #train #scalemodel #histscalemodels

LOL @awful.clownaround.town

has anyone tried going to a print shop and printing out a "deed to greenland" and handing it to him in a fancy-looking frame?

Northeast T-Trak has a module with solar panels and a display which shows the voltage. ttrak.wikidot.com/energy-solar...

Bluesky I’m asking you rather than your sister X because I know you can be responsible: do you know any artists who can pull off something in this Nancy Drew cover style in a relative hurry and are taking commissions

Sharing this next one for my art followers. Please repost the original to your peeps!

On January 12, the B&O Railroad Museum held a ribbon-cutting to mark the conclusion of the cosmetic restoration of American Freedom Train No. 1 railfan.com/restored-ame...

#1940s #NewJersey #NewYork #WorldWarII In this view c 1945 we see steam locomotives at Weehawken NJ likely that of the NYO&W and the Empire State Building in the background. This Terminal was used until 1959 when closed operations for passenger service

What was the role of the fossil fuel industry in the decades-long failure to confront the threat of climate change? Our 2022 documentary series “The Power of Big Oil” charted when the industry began researching climate change & the lengths it went to cast doubt on the science & block action. Watch:

A "few" years ago, my brother mentioned he had never seen anyone sleep like me. [Finally] Digging into sleeping with T-Rex/dinosaur arms was not something I needed to do. ... And, no, this (what I found) is not new information. I just didn't know it was "a thing".

Question - this is a UP DD40X - make unknown - can I DCC fit it? The whole thing is live on the ammeter…

Post a non religious picture you think of as holy.

I can officially say that following the guide for the AR-1 and the Kato Double Crossover, kind of sucks. Cutting those outer rails is not difficult, but it is not "fun". The X-Acto Razor Saw Set (X75300) is not required, but it is certainly *very* useful vs. a hacksaw! nrail.org/T-TRAK-Resou...

I watched the 2000 movie, X-Men, last night, for the first time, in years. This scene seems weirdly relevant, for some reason. I can't remember ever not agreeing with that. The "war" has been here for ages, and the "mutants" are not the X-Men. #X-Men #Magneto #MagnetoWasRight

I know Discord as a website is not without its problems and bad behavio on the part of its users, but it and bluesky are the only platforms i use, so get in there and tell Discord. NO. AI. EVER.

"Everything" keeps getting more expensive, so the clowns in the capital decide we need a state sandwich? These people are ducking useless. I feel so much better about the increased gas/electric and water rates.🤬 www.tristatehomepage.com/news/indiana...

These photos taken by BNSF employees are breathtaking! Across seasons and landscapes, one thing stands out: our iconic orange locomotives. See the full gallery: tinyurl.com/4ud3f6jy

NEW EPISODE: "The Creation of America's Car Culture, Part 2." We examine the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956 through the lens of two neighborhoods in New Orleans and Syracuse that were destroyed in the name of progress and the national defense. LISTEN: podcasts.apple.com/lu/podcast/t...

I made a couple of lamps out of unused "bobbers" at JonCinville Railroad and Trolley Lines 🚂🚋🙂

Pulled up to a coffee shop with @malaclypse.bsky.social to find a couple locking up their bike and they said, "Yay! More bikers!" When has anyone in a parking lot ever said, "Yay! More drivers!"

I found some "fruit" at Dollar Tree. It just needs a little paint! At 1 mm, I think it's a bit large for an 1/160th apple or orange, but it's probably no worse than that "universal scale" stuff.

Twelve months apart on my first ever 00 gauge #modelrailway #modelrairoad, this layout is dedicated to my grandfather who drove the actual loco that’s modelled D213 Andania a class 40 diesel on his final shift before retiring from BR in the 60’s

Not looking forward to this, at all. A 30°(F) temperature change is enough to have me eating pain killers like they were M&M's. My knees and wrist already ache, just thinking about it.

This should be opt-in not opt-out, and the ability to opt-out relies on a convoluted function the poster did not fully explain. Opt-out is the same method used by big tech companies and AI companies, and it is unethical. Opt-out is NOT CONSENT. Most people won't even see the original post!

3ヶ月使用した報告です。 あれから大きな脱線なく使えています。効果は非常に高いものと判断します。 ただ、このためにKATOの「どこでもリレーラー」を買うかどうか。大部分を切り取る事になるので、プラ板から自作した方が良いかもしれません。

My whole life we’ve been told that The US is simply too big to have high speed rail

Back on my tree nonsense, and I'm leaning heavily toward a wire armature. So, I'm watching this (most excellent) video, and I'm thinking I need to get thinner wire. I side-eye my twine.... I think I know what I might be doing tomorrow. Video: youtu.be/4vGyVM-V0yE?...

This wasn't exactly keeping me up at night, but yeah, I get it, having wrenched on plenty of cars. youtu.be/Q-trtDJHfFE?...

And a very merry Whiskey Basketball Day to all those who celebrate

When you have more time than money. Making some ... I don't know, general purpose bits of stuff to use as ground cover, and glue onto trees?

Yeah, that's all I got. So burnout; much tired. 😞

Steam trains seem to be tied to the December season, be it through decorations, Santa Specials or a handful of Christmas films. But why is this the case? Has this always been the case? And what is the situation like in the Southern hemisphere? youtu.be/DSLVcdf5Tag

Call me cynical, but I don't see much, in cleaning up Indiana's excessively toxic coal ash problem, coming from this. wjts.tv/2025/12/indi...

I think its funny that people think steam locomotives are like an outdated tech when its still more than capable of being useful in the modern day. It even has an advantage over diesels with more horsepower with higher speeds. Only reason why we don’t use it is cost and maintenance.

We've taken care of everything The words you read, the songs you sing The pictures that give pleasure to your eye It's one for all and all for one We work together, common son Never need to wonder how or why… Happy 2112 Day Happy Lifeson Day #RushFamily 💗

Who knew there was an Instagram account for US-1 Trucking?!? This stuff *almost* makes me wish I had gone with HO, but that's even *more* space I don't have. www.instagram.com/reel/DSORmVt...
