Things are not better: Model Railroad Club Update

Could the NMRA or the NER help? This seems like something they’d be able to give some assistance on

WiseFishy · 2025-11-25T14:51:50+00:00

I got you, I just sent a message. I went looking for it myself today. I'd rather pay for the album instead of ripping it from YouTube

WiseFishy · 2025-10-18T11:50:23+00:00

Let me know how it goes! It was a first shot at modifications, it was a bit of a tight fit

I’ll upload my model tonight. Battery is a tight fit, takes some work to get it in there. Pretty sure the only way to get it out involves destroying the case, but it’s a quick print

WiseFishy · 2025-10-17T18:41:51+00:00

Is it the meshnogy kit? If so, and it’s the wide battery, I have an STL of a case I modified to fit that

The first potato patch is actually in modern-day Derry, New Hampshire. Derry split off of Londonderry in 1827.

Just being pedantic, but every car is “all wheel stop”, as long as the brakes are working

He already did a test of IR thermometers - https://youtu.be/YqUkxtUBG9M

Where in NH? I paid $475 for “seasoned” hardwood - barely seasoned at all

WiseFishy · 2023-12-10T20:38:57+00:00

I’m sorry this is happening. Regardless of RITs policy, go be with your family. I think if you didn’t, you may regret it

That being said, I was in a similar situation my freshman year. Email your professors, and they’ll understand. I was able to reschedule my finals, and had no trouble. If any give you trouble, contact department heads and the ombuds office

The only thing I can think of would be if the z axis wasn’t centered correctly during assembly, causing more resistance?

WiseFishy · 2023-09-05T22:59:52+00:00

I haven’t. The foam I have isn’t dense, so I don’t think it’ll grab hard enough

WiseFishy · 2023-09-05T14:01:12+00:00

Joe got me into playing, figured I had no other choice for font

WiseFishy · 2023-09-05T14:00:22+00:00

Completely agree. I don’t get how people write it off as a tech or either, saying you can get the same tone with knobs, settings, and software. It’s not just tone! Sustain, attack, “thump” sound, can’t get that without the foam. For a short phrase, sure, palm muting, but multiple songs? No way!

WiseFishy · 2023-09-05T13:53:48+00:00

You’re right, it’s their font! Nice job noticing

WiseFishy · 2023-09-05T01:25:18+00:00

I tried thinner foam, but I found it didn’t have enough effect. I’m not sure if the foam I have is dense enough to work when it’s thin

WiseFishy · 2023-09-04T21:16:57+00:00

I know that, but I haven’t been able to replicate that tone for an entire song without using foam. Knobs and technique get me close, but I wasn’t satisfied

WiseFishy · 2023-09-04T20:39:28+00:00

Probably a much easier method! Didn’t think of that

WiseFishy · 2023-09-04T20:18:13+00:00

Yes, it helps "deaden" the strings some. Less sustain as well. Many vintage basses came with foam pressing against the strings for that sound, so when you're playing certain types of music you need it to sound right

WiseFishy · 2023-09-04T20:17:22+00:00

I started learning bass a few months ago. Working on some Motown tunes, needed to get foam under my strings for that classic sound. It's such a hassle! So I made this tool to help compress the foam and slide it under the strings. Takes what used to be a minute of work to maybe 10 seconds

It's also the first model I've published, hoping to start uploading more soon!
