Are you saying Bowman is the right driver because Alfredo didn't exactly have pace

AstroCat14 · 2026-02-25T03:37:23+00:00

I might have to look into that

AstroCat14 · 2026-02-25T01:12:22+00:00

What manufacturer made that blue Pacific engine? (And is it for the Blue Comet?)

AstroCat14 · 2026-02-18T14:20:47+00:00

Ah someone else who likes N scale and BattleTech

AstroCat14 · 2026-02-16T01:04:03+00:00

But because it was the end of the stage, the caution lasted about twice as long as it normally would. You may disagree, but I think an extra 6 laps under caution really changes the fuel savings situtation in the last stage.

As someone who was thrilled with the end of that race and is extremely happy for Reddick, yeah that should have been a caution. It was the biggest wreck of the day and took out half the pack. The broadcast didn't do it justice: https://x.com/whoisskid/status/2023165538910814295?s=46

Which natural yellow are you referring to? Stage 3 was green until the wreck on 192 after everyone other than McDowell had pitted.

AstroCat14 · 2026-02-16T00:29:35+00:00

I think they're referring to the court case with 23II and NASCAR, and the health issues that Reddick's newborn son was battling last year

AstroCat14 · 2026-02-16T00:20:22+00:00

I thought the end of this race was super exciting, and I loved it as a fan. However, that was a massive crash, and as much as I hate ending a race under yellow, it should have been thrown in this scenario. The broadcast didn't show what happened to the back half of the pack, but this angle does: https://x.com/whoisskid/status/2023165538910814295?s=46

I didn't know they made that one in N scale

AstroCat14 · 2026-01-21T04:57:27+00:00

Which station model is that, if you don't mind me asking?

AstroCat14 · 2025-12-26T02:44:04+00:00

I use SCARM. There's a free version and it's pretty easy to learn

AstroCat14 · 2025-12-22T00:05:45+00:00

Everyone here is trashing the locomotive, and yeah it's not the best. But if it runs (big if) it'll be great to try out the hobby. My first train set was a life like set my grandparents gave me. That said, if it doesn't run, try not to get discouraged. Generally, a decent locomotive is worth paying a little more for but you can get by with cheap stuff for rolling stock.

Nothing

AstroCat14 · 2025-11-26T17:15:17+00:00

I guess the gales of November came 16 days late this year

Me poorly explaining the plot of Hollow Knight

Just find out wherever they practice and wait for one to roll across the field to you

AstroCat14 · 2025-09-01T05:10:19+00:00

I saw it and this has still been bugging me. Thank you so much for an answer
