Coyote chilling on a trail

Coyote is sweepy

Today I met the chilliest Coyote I've ever seen. He just kinda vibed all day, not bothering anybody, just enjoying a nice sunny day on Drake's Bay a safe distance from us. @wolf.observer and @kcvulpinestudios.bsky.social would approve.

Wow, that ugly ass modded P-51 "voodoo" beats it by a staggering 130+ mph. Incredible feat, honestly.

We need to rebuild an XF-12 to reclaim the record.

Or my personal favorite, the XF-12 'Rainbow' the fastest piston engined aircraft of all time:

Skunk works projects and other cold war experimentals are my "Roman empire". Sometimes, I remember project 'Have Blue' existed.

Bart Tube Construction, 1967
The over 50 sections of the Bart Tube were constructed at Bethlehem Steel at Potrero Hill, Pier 70. The paint outline at Crane Cove Park doesn’t do them justice. #sfhistory #sfmemory

A black and white picture from around 1900. It shows a short passenger train at a station going away from the viewer, just behind and above there is another train passenger climbing up a bridge about 20 feet (6 meters) above. Further in the background a mind train crosses a high metal trestle.

I hate when model railroaders keep squeezing in more track and more bridges into a scene. So unprototypical.

(Lead, SD)

Yes. The stupid clips and mounting is so frustrating

They really should have made those vertiports with the Fairey Rotodynes blowing out windows and eardrums in the CBD of every city.

All timer inside baseball historic reference with a twist.

Jay and I have taken to using the rapido light kits in the walthers cars to same time and achieve a superior result

A Loch that Nessie would be proud of. Though there is nothing monstrous about these bonnie samples.

Last week, we showed you how these upcoming models will sound. We know you would like to see close-ups of this highly detailed Highlander.

Order books close on the 30th of March.

Need a full on pressure washer soap and rotating brush locomotive wash at the entrances.

It's now public and LIVE! Let me know what you think.

We must keep adding additional mid-train cars until morale improves! Haha

Couldn't agree more. I wonder what harebrained scheme they'll come up with next?

Where's VENICE III, a modern city-state city on pilings?

How about about hanging garden of Babylon 2?

Or maybe one of those UK brutalist megaprojects?

They're converting it into the next abandoned construction project more like.

Google Street View screenshot. A single-track railway runs straight through a landscape of green, treeless rolling hills. Wooden poles hold up an overhead wire along the railway, and a smaller pole displays a white sign simply reading "Birds Landing". Windmills dot the background.

where? i don't see any

Two walls up, the other two are panted but waiting to do the interior first before further assembly.

Interior walls are designed in Inkscape and printed on cardstock, then laminated to the basswood structure. A very fast way to have a nice interior to glimpse though the windows

Yes, the train order lamp is lit!

Those who Denver, South Park and Pacific…

1:22.5 G scale Alpine Tunnel station coming along, should be complete in time for the show I’m exhibiting G scale stuff at in a week.

Now I've finally made the connection why I never ever wanted to join that Meta platform. ☢️ Quality subconscious epiphany.

Nocturnal scene of the depot at Guadalajara, Mexico with two passenger trains.

The Alta California Railway meets Nacionales De Mexico at Guadalajara, commissioned by @interurbanera.bsky.social . (Not gonna lie, this has to be one of the best things I've ever done)
If any of you model railroad guys want a portrait of your finest (or grubbiest) motive power, drop us a line!

Which transit agencies that have weekend/Sunday service actually design service for patterns of how people move on weekends versus just a broad, general reduction in frequency to save money?

Do any exist? Or is just for cost savings?

It's at the corner of Hayes and Octavia!

#TodayInHistory: #OnThisDay in 1950, the last trolley crossed the Brooklyn Bridge. A major transit artery for much of its history, the Brooklyn Bridge had also carried cable cars and an elevated railway. Trolleys were the last to go. These #NYTMcollection photos show trolleys on the Brooklyn Bridge.

Missouri Pacific's AC&F Motorailer

Thinking about her again

Ah, so the last things that made the store worth visiting before they went anti-woke. I wish them a very rocky chapter 7 bankruptcy.
