The favorite I saw was 1218 though when I took our yongest to see it when the whistle sounded. I saw a (I’m told) see some large engines hauling coal to Lamberts Point I just remember big ( I was 3 or so) but N&W was still steam then along that section. From Crewe to Norfolk

So if I might deign to ask.. what do YOU see as a viable way to “fix” the issue and how can YOU communicate with others and LEAD the change? I’ve yet to see encouraging Blue Sky posts.. more of a “rage against the machine” blowing smoke. Just like THIS post! Are you just fishing for followers?

Should just be a nation of people happily living, working, and learning together.. religions are just a small personal consideration of how to live with others.

Hmm having baked, cooked, gardened for decades what exactly are you suggesting 🤬 maybe your thinking needs to be “rounded out.”

Differences are good.. brow beating and denigrating others to change Is where “the wheels fall off.” As for weirdness.. it too can be enervating.

Sigh.. I’m so tired of folks choosing sides… but then most of my life is tainted: even churches, religions, race, politicians, voters, red necks and hippies etc etc etc. draw up battle lines. Heck I have given up on neighbors and family members.. maybe that is an underlying reason I just SIT..

Syringes have their own issues. I did build an odd “drill press” that hold “perfectly” 😂 perpendicular but I can turn arbor and bit by hand .. more tools my sons will toss🤣🤣🤣 and don’t forget to not let material being drilled to shift AT ALL😱😱

This particular shaft went back into the 1800s and have been flood for a century or so bottom around 600 feet.

In Buddhism there is a significance to the number 108.

Nearby an abandoned mine supposedly had a “tapped out” shaft where they disposed of mules. Can’t proove… it’s flooded.. have to wonder though… the smell.. and the miners had no “facilities.”

I will suggest there are ways to approach model railroading and get “customizable environment” without needing lots of space.

So.. how are you using them? I’m very careful with material to to drill, drill speed, the chuck, how true spindle and chuck are, even alignment of surface.. before each “start” I murmur “don’t break it” ten times.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I have used CAD .. I have learned several- enough to produce a few things. Resin I prefer to PLA and I’ve used CAD try to LASER cut parts for assemblies. Contact me for info on sanity,successes and failures..

Yes. First, what software do you know and have? Second, what size prints .. print platform will be determining.. and location and temp of location PLUS ABILITY TO ventilate! Btw, have you Asked around .. schools and friends might print your “creations” and what level of detail?

Some show cracks but have yet to “crumble” but “I wonder” whether a “tumble” will wake the sleeping.. I still have an early atlas steam loco I bought rather than Rapido.. a friend suggested “flooding” with “super-glue.” My family will toss after my demise.🤭🤭

I’ll suggest it depends on how it is used and what data it can access. Like: what are the dimensions of a circa 1890 freight station in a specific location. I’ve been looking for 20+ years if Ai can provide data it is great! .

I’m still curious about food and clothing provider.. locally we stopped one warehouse project..the only available sewage trestment plant would have to be replaced with a larger one and That would have been blocked..needed local bond referendum🤭🤭

I’ve considered BUT until I need … i won’t begin. The CAD design is relatively easy with dimensions if and when … I’ll probably CNC.

I always read fine print and “kick tires” if an engine had or has “friction tire” can you buy replacements. BTW some old locos had /have ZAMAC frames that corrode into pieces.
