A couple of new projects I want to tackle long term. A set of G1 and G3 pacifics from the Reading. Obviously these are in rough shape, especially the G3. But they do seem in ok shape mechanically.

Is there a good place to look for NdeM steam history, or find blueprints for their locos? Have a desire to build a QR-1 class Niagara in HO and not a clue where to start other than just referencing pics of them on google.

This generic acetaminophen had an Amtrak ACS-64, four Amfleet 1 cars, a Conrail EMD GP15-1, and some Conrail rolling stock in it. The problem is more serious than I thought.

Genuinely the hardest thing about transitioning right now for me is the fact that I already had limited options for clothes due to my height, and now those options continue to dwindle to effectively nothing. Nothing fucking fits right without extreme alteration. Ahhhhhhh

Every single Philly politician should be frothing at the mouth for increasing the population by any means necessary. Its clear Harrisburg will never give us our due when it comes down to it. Force them to listen with another million Philadelphians to blot out the Pittmans of the world into obscurity

A very rough project Im starting. An old NJCB W1 with a ton missing. Will need a ton of work but I am hoping to turn it into a MILW painted engine. Gonna fully redo internals and DCC it. Hopefully add some more fun features like operating pantos, and cab interior.

The G-8 has been finished. She sounds a lot louder now and is running pretty well. She even managed to push 14 club cars up the hump yard grade which Ill call a success for the driver spring adjustment.

I just learned that Pennsylvania subsidizes horse racing to the tune of $200M per year. That's very close to SEPTA's shortfall ($213M). Senate Republicans need to explain why they think that $ is better spent on horse racing. wwww.septa.org/fundingcrisis/ www.thecentersquare.com/pennsylvania...

Horse racing industry gets $198M taxpayer subsidy
(The Center Square) — Pennsylvania’s horse racing industry saw a dip in state subsidies for 2023 — but only a minor one.

Finding a bit of lost potential in these roll signs. Rhawn for those that do not know was supposed to be the terminus for many different Roosevelt Boulevard subway plans. Definitely feels like a bit of hauntology given the train these signs were taken from never got to run to Rhawn ever.

Gonna be a wild year as #modelrailroad groups run by boomers and people who voted for this to happen have to find increasingly convoluted ways to "not talk about politics" when said politics will be driving their hobby into a crater and out of existence. They'll have to "vaguely" whine about prices.
