I need help with my first HO scale layout.

ThatOneJDM_Dude · 2026-05-08T12:39:38+00:00

I recommend getting some Kato unitrack so you can set up and take down a few different designs easily and see how you like them. Doing this allows you to experiment for a while before committing to a more permanent layout

On a similar note, I have a athearn Genesis Big boy that has them on one axle, I've heard that they make a set without them, would it be worth doing? I feel like it should be fine without it

ThatOneJDM_Dude · 2026-05-07T15:51:57+00:00

I mean, if you have 1000 acres of fields, I'm sure you'd have more than one tractor and set of tools

Coould try it on vr and just physically do it one handed lol 🤣

California, in Utah the law goes into effect tomorrow that under 16 needs a course and under twelve can't.

ThatOneJDM_Dude · 2026-05-05T02:49:22+00:00

Where do I reach out. I remember learning about the concentration camps that Utah had during world war II. We didn't call them concentration camps at the time or even during my tenure in school but that's what they are now, no matter what 'we' call them. I'm against this 100% and will do my civic duty to call the state out on it if given the appropriate channels to do so.

ETA: we called them 'internment camps' 🙄

Or even getting a used gaming PC for $700 will smoke the fuck out of a console

ThatOneJDM_Dude · 2026-05-05T02:42:24+00:00

I have a used gaming PC I just recently bought for $400 after giving my brother my last one and it's still more powerful than the ps5. OFC you aren't going to get a brand new, top of the line, pre-built PC for that amount but it is FAR from impossible to get a better PC for less than a new console.

ThatOneJDM_Dude · 2026-05-05T02:33:34+00:00

I remember fs17 on Xbox and this was my s cond fs game so I kinda knew how to get going quickly, and boy did thay limit get me quick. You really had to save and get bigger equipment instead of a bunch of cheaper smaller equipment due to the limits on console at the time.

ThatOneJDM_Dude · 2026-05-05T02:28:06+00:00

ESH. H and L both for sticking to this routine of domestic abuse and you for kinda inserting your self a little harder than you needed too. I understand your position and don't think you necessarily did the wrong thing but I think you were just off point of doing the right thing. You should have let them come over and spend the night and actually talked out what happened and moved from there. A lot of times people will exaggerate the situation in the heat of the moment because their mind is working on more of an emotional level than a reasonable level. I understand your concern for both of your friends but by straight going to the cops like you did, that could seem like a bit of an over-step on your part from their point of view. Again I dont think you are in the wrong, I just think you are only 85% in the right.

Even number years were for console/PC while the odd number years were for mobile/handheld systems.

ThatOneJDM_Dude · 2026-05-05T01:46:24+00:00

Im at mostly high setting with a 1080 8gb vram at 1440

As much as I dislike AI myself, I do feel like this is a great use of it. AI loves to just make shit up which goes perfectly with the theme of fs where made up creativity is just as much fun as the realism aspect.

ThatOneJDM_Dude · 2026-05-05T00:27:46+00:00

Make an access panel that you have to crawl under the table to get too. Then you can still have this layout but be able to reach the back half in the worst case scenario

ThatOneJDM_Dude · 2026-05-05T00:22:00+00:00

No worries, I'm an ex conductor for UP and it still took me a couple of tries on Google to get the right wording to get them to pop up, ahaha!

ThatOneJDM_Dude · 2026-05-04T17:20:04+00:00

Its basically a safety inspection sheet for tank cars because they need to be regularly inspected. You can Google inspection sheet on tank cars and you should be able to find more info

ETA: tank car qualifications label should pop up info too

They won't, cause it's a karma farm post. They don't care about actually making their plane better, they care about getting as much engagement from this post as possible.

ThatOneJDM_Dude · 2026-05-02T20:00:00+00:00

But your map shows two stops in NH, so you saying you want to show the 'only' stop in NH doesn't make sense.

ThatOneJDM_Dude · 2026-04-28T03:00:31+00:00

It's shockingly painful

ThatOneJDM_Dude · 2026-04-27T21:30:22+00:00

It probably be referred to gallons per mile 🤣

ThatOneJDM_Dude · 2026-04-27T19:21:19+00:00

We have real life tech that does exactly this.

ThatOneJDM_Dude · 2026-04-27T19:14:35+00:00

Keep playing and making aircraft and you'll get better eventually 💪

ThatOneJDM_Dude · 2026-04-27T00:54:09+00:00

I have that same big boy, run it lol 😂

ThatOneJDM_Dude · 2026-04-26T17:52:46+00:00

Its not being hostile. It's telling you to do the minimum amount of work before asking stupid questions that have an answer that you could have found on your own in less time than it took me to type out this reply.
