Used some of the 2-part tamiya putty recently and it's not for every job but it was very easy to work with.

I tried a couple different things but went back to classic 2-part tamiya putty and luckily it was not too old or anything. It's more on the stiff side but it seemed very workable both while drying and then filing or sanding afterwards, and it took paint well.

To get this much detail at 1:350 is a real achievment and this kind of consistency is amazing.

Underneath that temporary mess of electrical tape, there's enough good lead-free solder so no adjustment was necessary. Side-tracked by work, finally got a locomotive moving again for the first time in a week after picking up a few feet of wire for the controller to the board until DCC. Wire is $$$!

That's a good observation. I've seen and walked a few of those. When it's old canal routes you don't think twice about it, but discontinued railroads feel like lost opportunities.

It's definitely good to see rail projects still moving forward. You worry these days they'll buy the railroad and pave over the tracks for a highway.😅

I guess it would depend on whether Todd could feed from Odo's life force?

Todd the Wraith vs. Odo... who would win?

If Todd the Wraith showed up on Deep Space 9, he must have been very lost.

It really is getting ridiculous to the point it seems more likely a game. I know the logic works out that it doesn't matter one way or another since you wouldn't do anything differently, but I'd still like to know.😆

Look at those free cars. I could have taken more too but I hate feeling greedy.

He also gave me some of his art (he is the artist).
He does lots of motorsports art and has done livery for IMSA cars before.

If you haven't seen modern model trains, one option is sound from the real train, the engine as well as the horn, adjusting for speed and everything. I haven't called anything "fairly amazing" so I'll use that to describe it.

OK, now that's a nice thing he's doing that should inspire us to do similar.

Great stuff! I'll have a tugboat right at the canter of my layout, but it's a container-ship-pushing harbor tug so quite a bit bigger. C'mon, you know you want to model a harbor area.😄

Alexandria is a metro station too and it's nice walking that area down to the river as long as you don't mind the long uphill walk back, but of course there's a bus line.

Normally that wouldn't pique my interest but since it's you I can't wait to see.I'm guessing it's epic?😅

Treats of rewatching DS9 and not skipping episodes: Sisko flipping mode at dinner at Starfleet Academy when Nog doesn't want to name members of Red Squad:

"Cadet, you are obviously under the mistaken impression that I am asking a favor."

SIsko's gear-change & the look on Nog's face is priceless.😆

Wait, I never thought about it until now... but does Odo see through his eyes or what? If he does, then it seems unlikely he could make something as complicted as working eyes but couldn't make himself decent ears. #DeepSpace9 #StarTrek

Thanks for the info!. So this isn't the same as VRE is it, the one that serves light rail around DC?

Some day, we're going to find out that Microsoft deliberately lets Windows installation grow to ridiculous sizes in some kind of deal to encourage buying new computers.

I like that: "Windows Wednesday"

That first pic reminds me so much of train travel in Europe back in the day.

More trains!

A contractor chasing a building inspector with a fist-full of cash?

Think there will be any Z scale Marlkin stuff?

If you're in the SW Michigan area come visit my clubs train show this Saturday! I'll be there will multiple marklin layouts!

Getting back to some regular O gauge programming. Just a little temporary layout till after Saturday. Our club is having a train show Saturday (in grand rapids mi if anyone's local) so things around here are a mess atm. Gonna have a few marklin layouts running there and selling stuff too!

The diner build so far. I'm still waiting for the tables and benches to show up. It appears that package spent a week bouncing around Georgia before heading my way.

That's interesting. If you've ever travelled internationally and didn't make calls home because of the roaming costs (which can be ridiculously expensive some places) you can get an eSIM called Saily that will make mobile calls and internet browsing seem to originate in whatever country you pick.
