Interurban Era

That's a great idea, come to think of it.

Some green screen shots of the primed model for someone to play with if they'd like.

(This would also make a beautiful paint scheme in its own right TBH.

Now it's got a very appropriate little brass bell

This is why I prefer having dogs, who remain on the floor! My scenery is probably.1% dog hair though..

Or you can be 21 with no formal experience in any EE field and do it anyways by reading books and observing the real thing from the windows of trains and trolleys for hours, it is easier then it looks!

Two images, made to look like old book pages, the text is a history of my fictional Railroad the Tuckasegee River Railroad, I've edited screenshots to look like black and white photos.

A few years ago I managed to get hold of the fantastic book on American shortlines called Mixed Train Daily, decided to make a bit of a love letter to it based on my save in Railroader...

This is the most perfect answer. Hell yeah!

What I'd give for not *having* to drive places, even if my local streetcar can't go 0-60 in 4.5 seconds.

Ever since they came out, I had a sneaking suspicion they're excellent cars. What is the most fun part about driving it?

What's your go to "oh wow,. Someone bought one?" Vehicle?

An absolutely BONKERS way to unload a coal gondola...

Therapist: the TEMU flex track can't hurt you, it...

The TEMU flex track:

Most definitely. Build the yard there and then cap it with a forest of hong kong height towers.

Cowards, just replace every window with a screen that only shows unskipple ads when driving

had a vision and stayed up late into the night to realize it: Manhattan Yamanote Line. Manhanote Line
