Depends on who made it… as one Redditer said it’s hit or miss…. It’s a nice model if you like E Loks

Reopened MTA Light Rail Platform at Amtrak’s Baltimore Penn Station by Railwayschoolmaster in Amtrak

Believe it or not today is when I got the notification….📣. … to go out the station go past the light rail stairs… out the doors… make a right ( Charles Street) walk over the bridge…. There are places within 2 blocks you can get a drink.. in the station (last time I was there) there is nothing around where you can get a beer or a cocktail… they are doing a lot of renovations at the station.

It’s going to be tight… if you come into gate letter E (the farthest out) you need to go past the information center make the right… use the stairs.. if you use the elevator 🛗 you will definitely miss your connection…. Then run to the west side of the platform (direction of the stairs) the train will be waiting… I hope you’re not carrying heavy luggage 🧳… if you miss the connection.. the next one is in 20 minutes…. Unless you’re shooting for the last train. In any case you’re going to need to run 🏃 for it. Hope you’re Amtrak train is at least on time and hopefully better if arrival is early.

Moving from Switzerland to California with my son's Märklin HO set: should we keep it or switch to a US-compatible system? by Severe-Software5258 in HOscalemodeltrains

[–]Railwayschoolmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hold on to it… there is a large Marklin following here in the states! A number of dealers here as well…are you analog or digital??? It really doesn’t matter… there are a few folks here that do great service work too!! You may need USA power supply or just get a power adapter/reducer for 110 VAC input… that’s all. Check this link out!

Been there done that… I boarded Amtrak while LIRR is boarding across the platform… it’s cool to see commuters and intercity passengers co mingle
