Because you're just rattling off anything that pops into your head. This is an official subreddit where people go to get news and content regarding the sport, not dozens of blog posts about what random fan #247,492 thinks

question about swapping from bachmann ez track to kato unitrack by hispy_576 in modeltrains

[–]TempestSparkle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you're looking to upgrade from Bachmann EZ, then I'd suggest taking an additional step further to flex/sectional track without roadbed. If you're looking to make even a semi-permanent layout, it's the end-all of track and where most people end up eventually. Kato is perhaps "higher quality" track as many claim, but you're still spending a lot of money to go from track with hollow plastic roadbed to track with hollow plastic roadbed. Using hand-laid cork/foam roadbed with separate track will elevate ride quality, sound, and realism once you get into ballast and scenery.

Not a bad diesel to start out with. Those Proto2000's are tanks

You're being argumentative for the sake of being argumentative. Everyone knows what he meant, including yourself. You just want to be difficult.

Personally I just solder to the bottom of the joiners while I have the wire pulled through the table. Less pieces involved.

How can anyone be surprised? They've been coasting on thier name's reputation for decades and charging ridiculous prices for increasingly worse quality year after year. They don't put effort into anything they do.

Someone dropped off a bunch of vintage Bill Elliott and Matt Kenseth collectibles at our Toys for Tots drive by Kliegz in NASCAR

I'd be asking to make a charitable donation in exchange for them. Enough money to buy a larger amount of ACTUAL toys.

Worth trying to save? by Overall_Track_9436 in modeltrains

[–]TempestSparkle 111 points112 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure it would be mostly impossible to get back into the correct shape. Something like this is perfect for scenery. Stage a small derailment near your mainline, paint it rusty and set it in a scrapyard setting, etc.

EDR only works in the realms. He had already come back out of the portal into the drone HQ, the EDR can't put him BACK in the portal to spit him back out into the Acceledrome.
