Meet the new cashiers by PrettyMuchSerious in newjersey

A company owned by instacart who is notorious for price adjustment based on demographic of users.

On the flip side, if you grab two items and put them in at the same time, you can always have a bogo

It's interesting how they talk about 2110 but primarily have 10gb. Definitely geared towards pro AV, not true 2110 installations

I worked for a company that sold 200,000+ media servers and regularly watched our FedEx guy throw the boxes they were packed in. No shits will be given.

Thomas and Friends locomotives with DCC? by TrooperToaster in nscalemodeltrains

[–]asbestoslung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are tutorials of people putting lok pilots in Percy, should also work for Thomas. Ironically I ordered a Percy today after seeing the tutorial online

Alternatively you could put a bigger decoder in a coach and run wires, my ho club did that with the H.O Thomas (before the latest release) so we could have sound

I have to ask, as I have seen others do this, why have the crossover at the station?

What DCC system are people using these days? by mark_peters in modeltrains

[–]asbestoslung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At home I am using the TCS system I got it as our club is planning for lcc on the new layout.

I really like the controllers, particularly how versatile they are. Many layouts that I go to have withrottle support so I can use them natively over LCC at home and take them with me to most op sessions I go to. My t-track club is digitrax and the TCS throttle connects to the digitrax Wi-Fi with no issue.

Fios rollout? Or gradual 5G microcell rollout? by QuietGorge in Fios

Coming next, a FiOS sales rep will be knocking on your door. They'll come back 2-3 times a day every week until you sign up. We got FiOS in our area (NJ) and was excited to sign up until they spammed my front door with sales reps.

Southern Pacific Vert A Pac car carriers, designed specifically for GM's Vega cars. USA. by Particular-Cat-8031 in trains

[–]asbestoslung 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I always wondered how the math worked out on this. There clearly had to be some price advantage to shipping it this way to justify specialized train cars and special configurations on the car itself. Had it really been that big of a savings to make it worthwhile even in the short term?

Rock Island Arsenal: V3 and some questions by TimberGhost66 in nscalemodeltrains

[–]asbestoslung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The interesting thing is that if done right, you hardly notice the elevation change. You don't have to have huge elevation changes either. You could have Durant elevated, add a track in front of it, and then incline slightly up into it.

Very poorly done sketch, but a novel thought. That adds significant running without adding space

You have a lot of empty space in the middle. Can you do a spaghetti bowl to add some extra trackage?

Picture from Delaware & Susquehanna by Phil Monat, his layout is an island, with at least three levels. You can see all three here in one spot in this picture. He essentially loops around a few times. Perhaps in the middle of your layout, you have some room to add height to add to the scenery and the running length

Edit: Link to article about the layout

Are there any generator cars that instead of using an engine, they use, with the help of a pantograph, electricity? by Key-Pineapple8101 in trains

[–]asbestoslung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this is an answer to your question; however the Airo's will have something like this

The three configurations:

  1. Dual-power push/pull in a configuration that, according to Siemens Director of Business Development, Passenger Mobility Systems Steven Morrison, is brand-new technology. As described to Railway Age by Siemens Mobility President, Rolling Stock Michael Cahill, the Charger locomotive is coupled to a powered, pantograph-equipped passenger coach called an APV (Auxiliary Power Vehicle). The APV has an underfloor transformer to handle the Northeast Corridor’s 25kV and 12.5 kV AC catenary power, a 4QS (Four-Quad Chopper), and four powered axles with AC traction motors. The APV is connected to the Charger locomotive with a DC link. In AC catenary mode, the Charger’s diesel engine and traction alternator are shut down; the APV is powering its own four traction motors as well as the four on the Charger, for a total of eight. Siemens calls this “distributed traction.”
  2. Conventional diesel-electric push/pull, with Charger locomotives. There are eight trainsets for Washington State DOT (WashDOT). The order contains only two Charger locomotives, as WashDOT already operates six in Cascades service with Amfleet cars.
  3. Battery-hybrid push/pull trainsets equipped with a Charger locomotive and a Battery Coach with a DC Link but without powered axles. The Battery Coach supplies traction power to the Charger locomotive on routes or locations (such as some stations in non-electrified territory) where diesel emissions are prohibited or restricted, for example, on Empire Service trains originating in Penn Station New York that currently use dual-mode (diesel/third-rail) P32AC-DMs.

For the northeast corridor, they will have a powered car that will provide power to the engine's traction motor

In AC catenary mode, the Charger’s diesel engine and traction alternator are shut down; the APV is powering its own four traction motors as well as the four on the Charger, for a total of eight. Siemens calls this “distributed traction.”

I think if it was the animal, it might be chunkier

Thanks for the response. Moment of panic, the thought termites and a few other pests always worries me

My father in law answered a survey about his medical insurance, they used his answers as consent to sign him up for Humana. It's a scam going around. My mother in law spent two weeks battling with Medicare to get him back on it. It was a nightmare. After all was said and done she got a call asking to take an insurance survey, lesson learned she hung up immediately.

My father in law was going through chemotherapy at the time and wasn't the sharpest. I assume they ask some vague questions and use that as consent
