The US has been extremely strict on who can be in the cab for years. Most units have internal cameras along with the standard event recorders that...

Very nice! I love the Concorde hiding in the back.

We're getting closer to ordering track. I got the rail joiners I'll need, and Rails of Sheffield shipped me the stuff to do third rail and AWS...

I don't see why this couldn't work. Several console games include native mod support, including SnowRunner, Farming Simulator, Fallout 4, and...

I forgot about MS Flight Simulator! Shows you how often I play lol. I'm okay taking off, but when it comes time to land forget about it. Granted I...

My haul from the Walthers sale... [img] I was able to totally upgrade and modernize my freight car collection, although I'm probably going to...

I know they only simulate the Hudson and Rensselaer Amtrak stations; in your opinion would it be worth it if I prefer Amtrak ops?

Thanks Vern and Fighter Command! Do any of you have the Selkirk Terminal route? If so, thoughts?

I really enjoyed 3DTS' MSTS content and have given some thought into Run8, especially their Albany area route as that's my local rail line. How...

No no, those are mine. Clint has enough stuff lol.

lol yeah, no, we don't get rid of things. They're up in storage back behind where we keep our filter overstock, and no one goes back there. It's...

We've got a bunch of old towers at work that I've been given the okay to take. Once my wife and I buy a house and I have space I'm really tempted...

I always feel like I'm going to break something when I work on a laptop lol. Desktops are much easier due to the larger scale and working...

I'm a strong advocate for online safety and good tech practices, especially for people who aren't as savvy or just don't know. I FINALLY got my...

Amtrak & Metro-North's Hudson Line, circa the late 90's/early 00's, with connections to GCT and NYP to simulate pre- and post- Empire Connection...

I recently resurrected my MSTS collection through OpenRails, which has been a huge blast from the past. I would spend hours scrolling through...

I'm personally a big fan of the Samsung SSD's. They're fast, reliable, and their free cloning software is extremely simple and easy to use.

Yo, I heard you like switch stands on switch stands on switch stands... [img] These look like they're going to be a pain to paint and install

Couple of discount codes to share with you fine folks... Rails of Sheffield - 5% off through Sunday, March 24th Code: TREATYOURSELF...

Great photos, thank you for sharing!

That's one of the reasons why HO is 1:87 and OO is 1:76 scale

Just got this dropped into my inbox... [img] Looks like Rails of Sheffield is preserving Hattons' massive collection of online resources. Good...

That 103 is awesome!

Nothing too exciting this update. The Model Centre had a SceneCraft sale, and Atlas released a Metro-North caboose from pre-order. [img]

I plan on pre-ordering a set of their upcoming OO Class 320, but haven't had much experience with them. N Scale seems to be their broader audience.

They had it for the M8's in the TSC New Haven Line, so I'm not sure why it'd be such an issue now. Of course that was however many odd years ago,...

I wouldn't be opposed to seeing a reboot of the Caltrain route, but I think it should be post electrification and feature the new FLIRT EMUs.

If it really is the case that this is an LIRR reboot, I'm still confused as to why licensing for LIRR is an issue. I'm assuming they had to get...

I too am curious to the logic here; nothing terminates or originates at Goldens Bridge, and at that point you're close enough to Brewster.

I love SnowRunner and after watching IGN's review I'm disappointed with what I saw. At least I saved money on not buying it!

OpenRails is the way to go. I recently went through all my old MSTS content and it runs great through OR, which also has native RailDriver...

Out with the old and in with the new! I recently went through my collection and managed to purge a bunch of older, redundant, and just old...

Consider me an anarchist lol

As far as driving quality, the 375/377 Electrostar family is responsive and handles amazingly. For fun, I love the older British diesels like the...

Agreed. Kings Cross would have been a far better starting point; if TSC can do it, then TSW should be able to as well.

Bakerloo would be better if there was AI traffic on the above ground and mainline portions. After watching some of the Video125 cab videos of the...

While I'm not against extending the Harlem, I only count 7 trains total originating and terminating at Mt. Kisco, and even then those crews are...

Thanks! Only the streetcar and the caboose were from Adirondack Hobby; the Horizon and the two Athearn units I ordered from TrainWorld (they had a...

Some of my latest acquisitions... A Brill streetcar and a B&M caboose I found at a hobby shop just outside Lake George [IMG] A Horizon cafe car...

Awesome model! Is that one of the Heljan units? Rails of Sheffield has them on sale right now.

Very nice! I have one of those from an older run I grabbed at the Albany train show a couple years ago for like $30, worth it all day LOL. Did...

I would hold off and put the money towards the new releases coming out in the next couple of months. Even looking past the bugs this route is very...

I'm a whipper snapper from a different country entirely, and I have a OO collection of the damn things lol

I could write a book on the amount of stupidity I get from the general public. - Answer the phone... Me: "Hello, Parts Department", Customer:...

I tried doing that with MSTS on an Acela train out of Philly a few years ago with my laptop. My then fiance at the time just looked at me like...

Just because you don't like certain content doesn't make other peoples' opinions "stupid and useless", it just means they have differing tastes...

This year will be my 14th year working at a tractor and light construction dealership, New Holland is our main brand, but we deal with several...

My 423 finally showed up. It took The Model Centre a decent amount of time to get this shipped to me, usually Rails of Sheffield gets stuff out...

Nothing too exciting this time around, some retaining walls I plan on using for bridge abutments and a road marking tool. A few more scenic items...

Well I learned something about nature history and railway trivia today, thank you for that Matt!
