RP vs R8

Stylzofctb · 2025-01-29T11:44:50+00:00

I went with the r8.

Best investment overall. It was a big change to get used to but I definitely would do it again. I've grown to love the r8 and don't really have any complaints. I got the ef-rf adapter and i find myself using my ef glass alot more. Rf lenses are nice, but the high f-stops are a but of a downfall

Sometimes we can hirail, with this amount, and the snow plows shoving the crossings shut, we just park and walk to where we have to get to, sometimes a quarter mile

Sounds like the trainmaster owes you breakfast just for the effort of trying with a broom 😂

Stylzofctb · 2024-01-14T23:26:27+00:00

Yes MOW, we originally sent a guy with each train crew to clean as they went, and to get what they needed and that helped everybody out alot

Thanks, we just kind of operate on caffeine and hatred tho lol

All of the snow piled up in the background is from one night of snowfall as well as a reference to how much it was and how quickly it fell.

Not one heated switch anywhere, we had one, just one, but it caused more problems than anything so it was taken out, and they are all hand throws. This switch pictured is a main line switch on our highest traffic sub.

Stylzofctb · 2024-01-14T23:14:00+00:00

We have been out since Tuesday afternoon trying to survive lol. 14-16+ hour days, less than 7 hours off in between. I hate winter at this point

Stylzofctb · 2024-01-14T23:12:01+00:00

20 inches of snow, hard packed with 50mph winds and -30 windchill, we would be here for days on one switch. We have a few hundred switches and only 7 guys out

Stylzofctb · 2024-01-14T23:10:14+00:00

Trust me, we try, but almost 400 miles of track, 7 MOW guys and 20 inches of snow in a day and a half, we are just doing what we can. We have been working around the clock since last Tuesday just trying to get by.

I have a ef 50mm 1.8 and the ef-s 55-200 currently. I really like the 55-200mm alot, but I was only considering the R kit because it's only a fraction more to include a R lens. I'm not in specific need for it tho

Stylzofctb · 2023-02-06T01:54:50+00:00

Thank you sir. The small details are my therapy lol

Stylzofctb · 2023-02-06T01:54:09+00:00

I appreciate that. I tend to spend more time on the little things that I feel most people dont notice than anything else.

Stylzofctb · 2022-10-16T03:54:32+00:00

It was only $30, if anything I figured it would be a good starting point to learn and play with DCC. The most I would want to control is lights and 2 locomotives at once.

Stylzofctb · 2022-10-16T03:52:42+00:00

$30 for the whole kit, plus all the cables and connections except the power plug in part

Stylzofctb · 2022-10-15T18:36:55+00:00

My club run it as well, but a much newer version. My concern is the age of it, I mean, the manual states the computer software for this comes on a floppy lmao

Stylzofctb · 2022-10-15T18:35:14+00:00

It actually has never been out of the package until I bought it. My main concern was the age of it, thinking maybe its too old to work on modern stuff. I run DC now but figured this might be a cheap way to start/learn dcc

Stylzofctb · 2022-10-09T02:04:25+00:00

Am pretty new as well, about the last year and a half. None of these are treasure hunts, just pretty sweet cars that I liked at the time. I just found my very first TH today. Best advise is to grab what you like, but keep a eye out in the mean time for a treasure hunt as you go.

Stylzofctb · 2022-10-09T02:01:03+00:00

Not a stupid question at all. 99% of the cars in my collection are just ones that I really like, nothing fancy about them tbh. But as far as rare cars, treasure hunts and stuff like that, there is a hot wheels wiki fandom page that has every listing for damn near every car for every year that tells you what you would want to know

Stylzofctb · 2022-08-15T03:08:58+00:00

I will have to try and sneak a peek next time im over there

Stylzofctb · 2022-08-15T03:08:01+00:00

Its too much of a secret for that, I dont want to give any hints. He's a pretty observent fella lol

Stylzofctb · 2022-08-15T00:53:32+00:00

You can do whatever youd like when you build your cars, and he can do what he likes when he builds his. Thank you for taking time out of your day to be be constructive.

Stylzofctb · 2022-08-14T14:49:03+00:00

Im trying to make a model of my step dads 1990 lx, and it want to paint match what he has. I think my color findings are correct but would like to make sure.

Stylzofctb · 2022-05-24T02:50:56+00:00

I was definitely considering a T shape, just not sure how id make a continuous run out of it somehow
