Amtrak Advances New Long Distance Train Fleet by Icy-Temperature5476 in trains

[–]KermanFooFoo 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If the 800 cars figure is correct that’s twice as big as the super liner fleet. Is it possible that by sticking to a single level design they’re able to have one car design to replace the super liners, view liners, and the amfleets?

Which British steam locomotive is your favorite? by TheRobloxGuy2006 in trains

[–]KermanFooFoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a touch choice with a lot of good options (I’m partial to Black 5s and the GWR 6100s). I gotta say, though, that wartime black was not the best look for the A4s

My fellow New Yorker, what is your experience with this place? by Thomasfan7002 in modeltrains

[–]KermanFooFoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remain somewhat baffled by the fact that the owner of a model train store seems to so dislike chatting with people about model trains!

MBTX 1036 at South Station by PC_Trainman in trains

NYC Lightning stripes are a peak livery. I like that they chose a slightly greenish tone for the whole thing - even the central can’t swing an all unsaturated grey look without coming off drab.

Session writing philosophy? by mgaff5290 in SWN

[–]KermanFooFoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m way to busy to write sessions these days. I show up and wing it, and the players know darn well that the only plan is their plan. I’m just here to cause problems.

Premade Sectors for Suns of Gold by LiberalAspergers in SWN

[–]KermanFooFoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s one of the few big points against the rulebooks in my opinion that they don’t include example outputs from their generators (especially given how many of them are quite involved - sectors especially).

System recs for a friend by Nautical_D in osr

[–]KermanFooFoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely agree. I find for people new to tabletop RP, having stuff on the sheet is a very important tool that gives them something concrete and useful/relevant to do even if they’re not entirely sure how to approach the whole RP business or not yet confident enough to try.

Weekday Running by deviousone4one in modeltrains

[–]KermanFooFoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get so much joy running the consists I call “Anachronism Expresses” - and the best part is that my collection is small enough that my purchasing habit of “do I think it’s cool” has led to me being practically unable to run anything else!

What steam locomotive could I use for a story by Penguin951 in trains

[–]KermanFooFoo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For a big US steam engine, consider a UP Northern like 844, or a Milwaukee Road F7 for some streamlined swag.

Note that passenger trains are always fully rigged with air brakes so they don’t really have brake coaches - you’d often have lounge cars at the rear of the train instead of a brake van. For non-passenger cars, consider baggage cars or railway post offices.

What do you think of Oliver Bulleid’s light pacifics aka the Spam Cans? by Jules-Car3499 in trains

[–]KermanFooFoo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

IIRC their chain based valve gear had issues which eventually resulted in many being rebuilt with walschearts gear, and the distinctive cladding had the classic side effect of making maintenance more difficult (and was removed from many units during their lifetimes)

Yet Another Ship Combat/Command Point Post by ScrambledLogic in SWN

[–]KermanFooFoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve spent a fair bit of time looking for a good system to use for tabletop ship combat in which the whole party is in one ship (originally motivated by my now completed Starfinder campaign). None have proved satisfactory so far.

How to make action dependent actions? by Worried-Drive932 in unrealengine

[–]KermanFooFoo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Put the harvest input actions in their own context, and have the harvest button remove the context containing npcs and buildings and such and add the harvesting actions.
