@benlk I grew up seeing John Allen's life work in model railroad magazines and was always amazed. Still am. #modelrailroads

Bad sleeping gives weird creativity?

I would love to see an actual mock-up (in model form, or computer render) of what the proposed Amtrak X2000 for the Acela would have looked like.
But no, can only find images of what the borrowed X2000 from Sweden looked like when doing PR-runs in the US.

Got to show off the #NScale tornado scene I worked on at a #ModelTrain show a couple months back!

The tornado comes down from the clouds and touches down in the town before it goes back up... leaving the nearby trailer park untouched. 😉

It was a huge hit and I'm excited to have gotten it working for the show!

Well then. It's taken a while to respond. But the people have spoken so the project begins.

In order not to bore everyone to death I've started a project account for the big #modelrailway build over at @WaxingtonHalt

Do give it a follow if you're interested.

#ModelRailway
#ModelRailroads
#ModelRailways
#ModelRailroad
#OOGuage

This account project will toot only #modelrailway #modelrailroad #ModelRailways #modelrailroads and will post updates and developments in the project.

In the rest of my life I toot over at @Waxingtonknee do join me there too for more general tooting.

@elrido indeed, #ModelRailroads and #Hacking do have that connection. First read about it in a german book about hacker culture, sometime in the late 1980s. 👍​

«N Scale compared – can you see the difference between 1:150 or 1:160 buildings?» US/Continental European #NScale is 1:160 while Japanese is 1:50. British N scale is 1:148. All use the same 9mm track gauge. For me, US & British scales matter a lot because I am using the same layout & scenery for different running sessions. (The crucial thing is clearances for the moving trains.) #ModelRailways #ModelRailroads https://modelrailwayengineer.com/n-scale-compared-1150-or-1160-buildings/

In the coming year, I hope to get better acquainted with #DCC (Digit Command Control) and other electronics for #ModelRailways. As I trying to finally get an #NScale #ModelRailroads layout setup (an on & off project spanning 50 years), I decided to take the leap & use DCC instead of the classic CD.
