As an N scaler, digital calipers are a must! They also come in handy in IDing the sizes/widths of random wheelsets you'll come across.

Any advice on making perfect right-angle cuts on styrene sheets? Even scoring w/an Xacto brings about uneven cuts.

Twitter makes me angry.
BlueSky makes me suicidal.

Was there today! #NScale is the best scale!

Airplane people too. Only model railroaders use alphabetic scale names.

My model train superpower? Scenery and ballasting.

(My kryptonite? Wiring.)

I fixed my email settings so it doesn't put Metro emails in the spam filter. That's what I was more worried about. But if you didn't send me one in the first place, then no prob.

Fair enough... 😁 Don't forget me for the D Line extension though! 😝

DCC is a hobby within a hobby.

Exactly this. Transit was run primarily by private agencies until the 40s. Most of us were not alive to fathom that.

Elson @elsongs.bsky.social · May 26

Yeah I'm a little upset with that, especially since the preproduction sample had a bike rack. But this is the very first 21st century prototype North American transit bus made in N scale, so it's a giant leap forward, regardless.

What is this...a @metrolosangeles.bsky.social Bus for ANTS?!?!

An Iconic Replicas New Flyer XN40 transit bus in #Nscale (160x smaller than the real thing)!

His brother said he's a devout Wordle player.

He was on the phone with The Man Upstairs asking for the Championship!

YESSSSS!

I recorded this on Opening Day, but I've always loved Nancy Bea's ending to "Take Me Out To The Ball Game", so I always played it like that. This is a tribute!

Celebrating the return of #Dodgers baseball, but also mourning the loss of Nancy Bea Hefley, Dodger Stadium organist from 1988-2015. Because of her, I learned how to play "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" w/the key change on the repeat (apparently every Dodger Stadium organist has played it this way)!

Model trains and music gear. I AM SEEN!

All the time.

Although, once you hear what it sounds like, you'll never want to do it again. 😆
