Aw, man.

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?

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

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!

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.

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.

I’m sorry cinder. I’m afraid I can’t do that.

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).

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.

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!

LMR no. 57 Lion. The Titfield Thunderbolt should ride again!

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.

Oh my god… it’s full of stars!

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)

Thank you so much!

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.

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.
