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!

I got my second ever US steam locomotive today, a Broadway Limited New Haven I5. I wanted one of these during their first run but I was in high...

Lol where the hell do you get "Grey Squirrel" from? Shed makes sense, but I'm not getting that one. You guys are way more imaginative with your...

There's a reason you guys call them sheds lol. As far as prime mover sounds, that's just the sound of US freight; you either get the chug of a...

You guys getting tired of our EMD exports already? LOL

And yet you keep coming back to tell us how useless it is? What's the definition of insanity...?

You must be a real joy at parties lol Is that all you can think of to reply with? "Your opinion's not valid, nor is anyone else with a...

I'm not even talking about the amount of trains, I'm talking about alerters screaming away on passing AI trains, poor signalling that leads to...

No, not drama, they make a valid point. This is how DTG has been operating as of late: hype up the next DLC as the next best thing that's had...

I love a DBSO, and it looks great in that livery. It would be an awesome DLC for TSW too, since it could be used on a variety of routes for...

It does thanks! Looks like Hornby does use larger packaging for their EMU sets than Bachmann.

Has anyone on that side of the pond seen the new Hornby Class 423 in person yet? The Model Centre just billed me £45 for shipping, so I'm guessing...

It's supposed to be a GP40, but it's in the passenger livery which was never carried by these units in real life. The prototypes wore the blue and...

I find older stock tends to have more personality and adds to driving immersion. While I enjoy running Electrostar and later series stock, I have...

Those are gorgeous! At some point I'd like to pick up a Virgin Class 47 with a short rake... and maybe a DVT lol. I agree on the Hornby range for...

You know, now that you ask that I'm not quite sure. I looked back at a Microsoft/Xbox receipt and they show two taxes on my order. The local tax...

Two pre-orders showed up last week. An IC Class 31 and a Southern "Booster" unit, both look fantastic. The 31 is part of Hornby's budget range but...

Fantastic shots! That is one of my favorite liveries applied to a train.

Not just by state, but by county within those states. A lot of vacationers from other countries get really confused when what they purchase rings...

I understand and appreciate this sentiment, but for $40 I don't think it's too much to expect to just load a scenario or service and have the...

I plan on waiting to pick this one up. Not having the trains get added to Arosa is a big let down, as it would breathe some more much needed life...

That's a shame. I usually order from Rails of Sheffield for my UK stuff, but I have used Hattons website as reference guide and it was laid out...

I'd really like to visit Switzerland some day. My wife went with a tour group a few years ago before we were married and spent some time at the...

Great vid! I'm glad I'm not the only one who freely mixes eras and countries on a layout. One of my customers only models the N&W from like five...

I finished the scenarios over the holiday weekend and I wasn't impressed. The over-sensitivity to the DMU controls made the "Running on Vapors"...

Thanks Mevans! I'll have more to share soon; a ton of my pre-orders look to be releasing within the next month or so, and I'm boosting the rate I...

Couple more from today... Athearn "Pepsi Can" 50th Anniversary P42 from pre-order [img] Walthers switch machines I got on sale. I still need to...

My most recent collection additions... I picked up this LIRR FA "Power Pack" and CP FPA used from a train show in Albany a few weeks ago. [img]...

This came up on the CBS Morning Show today while I was getting ready for work. Not quite sure how he found his way up to the tracks, but hey, he's...

I wouldn't say this freight was harder or easier to handle compared to US freight, just different. Here in the States we have the long, slow,...

I was a little hesitant to buy this at first, but after playing the two GWE scenarios yesterday I am happy I did. There was lots of AI traffic,...

Excellent! Would love an IC Class 87!

Set it in the era of slam-door EMU's and I'm down!

That is very much the exception and not the rule with our railroads. Mainly the tourist railroads do "Santa" trains, Canadian Pacific has their...

Further feeding my NSE addiction, I just received a new Bachmann Class 411 from pre-order... [img] And here's my Black Friday haul of layout...

I wouldn't worry about an older variant, I've had mine for nearly twenty years and it works fine. I do use mine only for TSC and OpenRails, and...

I know it's been mentioned, but the combined throttle and brake control is waaaaay too sensitive to player input. I play on Series X and even a...
