Earlier this year I built a pair of T-TRAK doubles, 1 equipped with Modular Signal System, as a 2 module scene. I need to scenic the signal module soon so it csn go to the NMRA National Train Show, but I won't be able to finish the planned scenery in time. What scenery should I do on this module?

So here is my #ntrak track allign tool i draw. www.printables.com/model/174613... It does what it does. Put it on the front of your module, put track down and done. #ntrak #modelrailroad #1zu160

Here's a video of the Pride Train running on some of my modules that are part of the club's show layout this weekend. The cicada sounds in the background are sound effects from a couple other T-TRAK modules of mine thst are in the layout.

I still have 2 more cars to paint, and the baggage car refused to stay coupled, but I was able to run the Pride Train at the one show my club has this month. Out of all my locomotives, UP1979 seemed like the most appropriate to pull the train.

New locomotive day! The locomotive i pre-ordered back in February 2023 that was originally supposed to arrive in May 2024 finally arrived today. But now I have my Kodachrome Santa Fe SD45-2.

BlueSky gets to see it first. Car 1 of 6 has received its paint job and is ready for Pride Month. The plan is for the Pride Train to debut at a show June 5th & 6th, so I've got to get busy painting the rest of the fleet.

On May 25, 1995, three web designers - Jeffrey Zeldman, Steve McCarron, and Alec Pollak - created an official website for Batman Forever. At the time, it was one of the first web projects that used the WWW service as a marketing and visual medium. #WebDesignHistory

I’d rather all my taxes go to SNAP, EBT, Food Stamps or whatever food assistance programs than to a Ballroom or war of choice.

I've got a couple of the original Raspberry Pi Zeros from way back in the day, but never could figure out what to do with them. They don't have Wi-Fi, and just 1 micro-USB port, so not very useful. I recently found an adapter that adds Ethernet and 4 USB ports, and gives it the footprint of a Pi 3B.

🫶🏻 happy saturday nerds 🫶🏻

Exactly 💯

Love the the Artemis crew. Four extraordinary humans: brilliant, disciplined, and deeply mission-driven. What stands out even more than their intelligence is their character. Kindness. Positivity. Humility. Empathy. The future of space exploration shouldn’t just be bold, it should be human. 🚀✨👇

after a quick review of my timeline i feel the need to point to the sign

In honor of the Artemis II mission to the moon, I'm running the solar system train on my layout today and watching the mission livestream on my tablet. #modeltrains #trains #space

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

As a Christian, I don't think federal agencies should be referring to "Christ, our Savior" in any context. I don't need my government to validate my faith. That's why it's called faith. More importantly, my government shouldn't be invalidating the religions of other Americans.

Good people of BlueSky, I want to share with you a sneak peek at my latest model railroad project. I still need to tweak the painting technique to achieve more uniform stripes, but I'm happy with the soft borders between the different colors.

Best railcar graffiti I've ever seen

Trans rights are human rights. Their existence causes no harm and their deserving of dignity is not a debate.

Gender norms were made to be disregarded.

The first test was a great success, so now i hooked up the bell and one of the actual lights to test how well they work. Another successful test. Now I just need to add code for the 2nd track and then I'll be ready to install it in the T-TRAK module once I have the placement finalized.

Excuse the messy work surface, but I'm working on an arduino sketch for a railroad crossing on a T-TRAK module. The two black modules have IR sensors for each end of the crossing zone, and the crossing will stay active as long as the train is between them. It works in both directions, too.

Tonight I did my first ever custom graffiti on one of my box cars. Did I do a good job? I may redo it if I acquire some waterslide decal paper while the message is still relevant, but I think it's good enough for now.

Another video of my HO scale train running on the layout at my local train store, Midwest Model Railroad, featuring several pieces of rolling stock that haven't been on the rails in several decades.

Saturday nights are for working on the railroad. Added Kadee couplers to one end of a couple of my dad's old box cars so they can be used to connect the old stuff to the newer stuff, swapped out both couplers on the Santa Fe caboose, and built the UP caboose kit.

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.

It's new (old) train day! I went over to my dad's house, and he sent me home with a bunch of his old model trains. This is the N scale train he bought for his dad while stationed in Germany with the Army.

Mixed freight with 4 locomotives running pas the co-op on the club's layout at the train show today.

Starting off 2026 the right way: comfy clothes and watching Lord of the Rings.

Happy new year, y'all. I'm gonna go to bed now.

In 2026: Generative AI is not inevitable. You can say no. You can refuse. You can reject the disgusting lukewarm slop that the richest and worst people in the world are trying to force-feed you. You can tell them to eat shit and die mad. You can break the machine

For most of my adult life, mu fashion sense has consisted of khaki/gray/brown cargo pants and t-shirts in varying shades of gray or black. For work/church, swap the t-shirts for thrift store polos. (1/2)

New locomotive day! My dad gave me some money for Christmas and said to spend it on trains, so now I have Kato C44-9W in the Warbonnet paint scheme, and have DCC installed. Now to see how well it runs with my other Kato diesels, so I can hopefully run it in consist with them.

Got some new rolling stock for the model railroad, so I had to get it onto the layout.
