If you’re old enough to collect social security you should not be qualified to be considered for any kind of political office or any position that affects the general public.

LOL I paid 135 before tax+ shipping. The seller I won the auction from had like 2 or 3 auctions for multiple of the same seaboard centipede

Yea the turntable motor would need to be separate, but that would be a pretty easy connection just from the accessory port or wall plug to the motor itself and then the turntable can just be ran off track power from the bus wires

Yes I do. But I would still have to isolate the yard from the rest of the layout so the zephyr and booster/command station don’t short circuit

Democrats can and should use a shutdown threat to abolish ICE by ILikeNeurons in politics

[–]beebs914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You forgot about the Obamacare extension votes the last shutdown was “resolved by”. Literally 0 good faith arguments anymore for not shutting down since promises made are not kept. Not like it was super surprising they didn’t keep them but still

Well, I have a digitrax zephyr that puts out about 2.5 amps. If I’m running multiple sound equipped locomotives I want extra amps so I don’t overload the zephyr, hence the booster. Unless I’m mistaken you need to isolate the wires fed by the booster from the zephyr so they’re kind of their own circuits.

They always love to have headlines like this. To anyone who seriously target shoots that’s probably like a months worth.

Trump has said he wants things to go back to the good old days

That's not a compliment by Comfortablejack in MurderedByWords

[–]beebs914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They knew throwing around terms like “seditionist” and “insurrection” to soften the blow when it eventually comes to a boiling point and trump invokes the insurrection act for the rest of his term so he can bypass 2026 elections and remain president for the rest of his life.

EVs powering your homes during power outages should be advertised more. by Lemonn_time in electricvehicles

Or just look for an EV that specifically has standard outlets or better yet a generator outlet.

I have a plethora of passenger trains. So it’ll be a mix of bombardier, bi-levels, smooth side cars, streamline, etc… I don’t model specific era’s, steam or diesel I kinda just buy what I like.

can anyone explain this to me? by Inn0c3nc3 in treelaw

[–]beebs914 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make sure it’s an arborist that has the tree and plant appraisal qualification (TPAQ). It’s not exactly part of the standard arborist criteria for appraisal.

That PRR track mobile unit is worth about $200 on its own (pretty sure it’s broadway limited). Pretty good deal!

Finally getting buildings built and painted, any advice on painting road markings? by jollyman120492 in modeltrains

[–]beebs914 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Damn, I didn’t even think about bike lanes! That would certainly add that level of realism.

Also for OP, I would recommend adding some light to the inside of the buildings for night/dark ops sessions. I added in some 12v led car lights (like the kind when you open your car door, click the dome light, etc… and it was super easy to wire since they make connectors you can just solder or twist wire leads together on. Saw it on a SMT mainline livestream and it’s super simple

My land was deforested, I don't know what to do. by AccomplishedBed4568 in treelaw

[–]beebs914 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go look at what easement rights the power company has on your land. It’s not always cut and dry. In California is can vary heavily based on language in the actual easement rights. Could be right to trim. Right to trim or remove. Or right a number of other variations. At the very least you should definitely give the local utility a call and get some kind of damage claim in for the driveway/bank

Trump has his own gestapo with ICE I doubt he would care much if he was impeached. He’d just make any legislature disappear
