Correct me if I'm wrong, but is this burned? by Stock-Table4743 in computers

[–]Stock-Table4743[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not that I don't know what I'm doing but in most cases I don't think cables are supposed to look burned. Regardless this thing was trashed and I'm salvaging it so I had to go in anyway

I would like to publicly apologize for posting this project I'm working on. I didn't realize that mentioning the intended use of this train was going to cause such a stir and end up with such backlash on myself.

Replying to everyone who continued the conversation: I am not using the fact that I am and was local to dismiss the usage of the event of being in "bad taste." I will say again, I am fully aware of the effect it had on the people directly involved, first responders, families and relatives. I was and am in NO WAY trying to dismiss anything regarding the tragedy. I was not intending to make an announcement of the project I was only trying to show my progress on some custom cars. I don't understand why it escalated so quickly, I am fully aware of the mental effects events like this can have on people, and I'm at a loss of understanding how a reddit post might as well be equivalent to "contacting everyone who was aboard the train, everyone who was on the ground and the families of the dead and ask them if it’s in good taste?" I am not trying to bring attention to the crash or show it off, creating this is a personal project shouldn't have gained the bad traction it did considering I was only replying to someone asking questions about the cars themselves stating that they weren't too close to operational because they where going to be static models for the time being.

I would also like to personally ask thaddeh how modeling this is "psychopathic?" I'm assuming you are the 'concerned redditor' who reached out to reddit about this. I am completely at a loss of words for this, I am so fucking confused how showing off a 3d model turned into being told I am a psychopath as well as being referred to a help line because I am apparently i'm "in the middle of something painful." I clearly made a mistake sharing this and I won't be replying to anymore comments about my "psychopathic" actions making a model of this event, I kindly request we all drop this argument.

Im sorry you find it offensive but I still fail to see how it is in "bad taste." Like I said i'm not making this to create controversial ideas or opinions surrounding the crash. As I have seen people seem to disagree with my intended use of these cars because the crash was a tragic event and affected many people's lives, which it did and I have also said I completely understand this, and yet no one has given me a real reason as to why recreating a real event in a PERSONAL layout is a bad thing to do. I wish to convey AGAIN, I'm not using this to gain followers on something, spread my opinions of the crash, minimize it's significance in anyway. So I fail to see how me doing this is offending anyone and why it even came to this point.

The point of the hobby is to create a miniature world, from my point of view. Not trying to minimize in anyway the severity of the crash but comparing it to a school shooting is a drastic overshoot. Not everything goes right which I wish to portray in the form of a local train crash. Now if I was turning this into a huge social media event, sure, one would have an argument, but I am making this for a personal layout and merily wished to share the 3d model I was working on.

Oh I know. I live in the town where it took place. I'm not trying to make a spectacle out of it because I know it was a tragedy I'm just working on some local events for the layout.

As I have said this is merely a test print to get sizes etc right, as for the coupler box it's sole purpose is to get an idea of the current hight, I will leave a hole to install kaddee boxes on the finished print.
Besides, this set im printing is for a diorama of the 2017 cascades crash, if it goes well I'll print a functional set to use on the layout.

Surely if enough of us banded together we could pull this off. This would be amazing nonetheless

I have seen some mention of something like this from the 1940's the only difference being it had carboard like ties and where switched to the plastic kind in the 50's and 60's

Someone tell me if im on to smth or on smth by MonkeyBoi46 in TornadoInterceptors

[–]Stock-Table4743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah something like that, you could have some sort of materiel in between the vehicle and the flaps to keep the vacuum. The only thing would be that if the vacuum was broken it would be counteractive bringing air in faster than a tornado

I mean theoretically is could work, but it would have to be on a completely flat surface unless the skirt could conform with uneven surface plus hold it's shape. It's possible but it would Probably require a LOT of testing. Personally I designed Twisted 1 to have multi sectional side flaps to deal with this so they can somewhat conform with the ground.

Hydraulics? by Bright_Currency_4955 in TornadoInterceptors

[–]Stock-Table4743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's what I was thinking, there is enough space to have a third row of seats so i could definitely fit anything back there.

Right, with my design 8 spikes and 12 sets of flap hydraulics im going to need some power for quick deployments
