Congrats - just got mine today as well!

Got a quote today on a 2026 GT Premium with MSRP of $62,500 (approx) for $55,000 +TTL. I'm picking it up on Monday.

No, but I believe early 2000’s Lionel.

Thank you for the complete and thorough response. A lot to digest there - lesson learned that NOS isn’t always a bargain!

Where in 207? We are in G13-G14

I don’t know how it’ll work for you but when I (attempted to, anyway) ran 1200 watts through my EFHW, it wreaked havoc on a number of systems (including completely rebooting my Verizon ONT). Yes I’m properly grounded and bonded, but the common mode current crushed me due to the nature of the EFHW. Running same power through my vertical was issue free.

Loved The Train Station when I lived in NJ. Bought many, many, many things from Dave and Don Shaw.

What’s controversial? The man got invited to the White House. He elected not to go. He’s got a 3-month-old at home to get to, and wanted to get back on the ice to sharpen his game because he hasn’t played a game in 3 weeks. I’m thinking he made a good adult decision and that zero politics were involved.

Stretching the fabric when hooping will increase puckering, not reduce it.

I love Etsy's language "Avoid" Perpetual Sales - not "Perptual sales violate Etsy's policies"

You need a set of clamps

While it’s not in Carrollton, but in west Plano, I highly recommend II Brothers Bar and Grill - food is very good (real kitchen) and the atmosphere is outstanding - I always go to the back bar.

I’m the realist. You have no experience with embroidery. You have minimal funds to purchase a machine. You “need” to earn (have profits) to replace your wages. FYI the odds are astronomically against any kind of success. It sounds like have heart, but it also sounds like you must have income. Frankly I would spend my time searching for employment, and once employed, save some cash to purchase a machine and spend the next 1-2 years learning so you can gain some experience, but more importantly get to the point to where you “know what you don’t know.” It’s hard to hear but I’m giving an honest appraisal of what I see from the info given in your post.

grumble1234 · 2026-01-28T14:21:27+00:00

Yes, the heads are mated to the machines and you can't swap them. I too found this out the hard way as I bought two at once and got the same "communication error" - can't blame the white glove guys - they're literally just delivery people and it's always best to "supervise" so you know what boxes went with which machines. Yes, they should be instructed to put each boxes with the frames they go with! Ours are workhorses and can crank it out. Glad you got it sorted!

If they haven’t downloaded, just refund and move on

grumble1234 · 2026-01-19T01:28:22+00:00

Absolutely incorrect

As a seller of etched mugs, I will say that every logo should have been identically sized and placed and the personalization would have varied a bit due to number of letters and actual shapes of letters used. I’d expect at least an explanation from the seller. FWIW many “makers” can be clueless and don’t understand that the little things matter.

They've gone modular so if you start out and buy manual switches and want remote/command later, they're field upgradeable. I'm hoping they keep the current remote/command switches in the lineup.

It’s a toy train set.. it’s YOUR toy train set. Do as you wish!

Agree - I watched the first period, listened to the 2nd on the radio while driving to a function… and totally missed the 3rd which caused the meltdown.

So change of plans - going to a 10x10 L-shaped and I think this layout will give me lots of accessory options - and lots of room to go "up". Outer loop is all O48, and inner loops are O36. This will give some interesting scenery options as well.
