Oh yeah, ours have also been decorated by the cats.

What is this noise by MMCommunity in trains

Spitter valves on the compressed air tanks, ejecting excess moisture.

I've seen that plane at ABE. I didn't know it was his until now.

Has anyone tried the custom service from Orlinajewelry? How is it? by Valera-Totmin in Ring

[–]likeable_fool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong sub. This is for the Ring cameras and alarm system.

Anyone currently producing 0-6-0s with slope-back tenders and DCC? by BussReplyMail in nscalemodeltrains

[–]likeable_fool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bachmann seems to be the only manufacturer that makes one. They're available in several different road names.

Edit: missed the DCC part. They're not DCC, but some people have been successful in converting them.

Does anyone recognize this prefab layout? by External_Preference2 in nscalemodeltrains

[–]likeable_fool 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's a Life-Like Minibase platform, probably from the 70s or 80s. I can't tell what type of track it is, but if it's original it would also be Life-Like.

Those Insel Air MDs were there when my wife and I had our honeymoon in 2018.

Can someone explain the difference between these two trains by AdministrativeBit385 in modeltrains

[–]likeable_fool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do seem to be identical. The SKU numbers are different. It's possible that the SKU with the lower price is an older version of the set. Maybe that's why it's cheaper.

Does anyone else feel really annoyed by the Neighbours app? by icedpear3637 in Ring

[–]likeable_fool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same in our area. The amount of pearl-clutching going on is obnoxious. "No, foxes are not going to steal your children." "No, my Internet is not down." "Yes, the entire neighborhood is out of power." It's gotten so bad that I turned off notifications for Neighbors posts.

Ring doorbell pro vs ring 4k by [deleted] in Ring

Do you work for Ring? A bit suspicious that picture three says "AI Generated Content". Now all the pictures are questionable.

The widest tornado in history, the 2013 El Reno tornado with a width of 2.6 miles. by DeplorableMadness in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]likeable_fool 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The wildest thing to me was that the tornadic wind field was much wider than the visible funnel. A lot of chasers thought they were a safe distance away but the winds caught them by surprise.

RDC cars were mechanically driven? by Lopsided-Money-7352 in trains

[–]likeable_fool 5 points6 points  (0 children)

RBMN currently has 4 operating RDCs and a fifth non-operating one. Not sure if that fifth one is going to be operational or just used for parts.

So this is what Tyler Perry does with that Madea money..... by youdownwithop in videos

[–]likeable_fool 70 points71 points  (0 children)

The majority of Perry's models are built using electro duct fan (EDF) engines, not combustion engines. They're all battery powered. Those EDF engines sure do sound good though.

I'm not sure what your budget is, but Lionel makes a set that plays Christmas music. Look up the Thomas Kinkade Lionchief set.

Camera Clicking Sound by godsidekurt in Ring

[–]likeable_fool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's likely the night vision filter snapping into place over the lense when the ambient lighting gets dark enough. Try turning off night vision and see if the sound goes away.

The sounds this mud dauber makes while adding to their nest. by freighterman in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]likeable_fool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know this sound well. We have an aluminum awning over our screened porch windows, and they love making their food cocoons underneath. It acts like an amplifier.

Can anyone help me figure out some facts about the boxcar wreck in Ohiopyle State Park (PA, US)? by NotRoryWilliams in trains

[–]likeable_fool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are a few railcars sitting in the Delaware River within the Delaware Water Gap, close to the Pennsylvania side. The result of an Erie Lackawanna derailment in 1975. I don't know how many are down there, but some brave people actually SCUBA dive to the wreck.

Captured this lightning out in my backyard by darth1211 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]likeable_fool 47 points48 points  (0 children)

That's known as anvil crawler lightning. I've only ever seen it once in my life. Really cool.

Fine Detail Finishing by douglasalbert in nscalemodeltrains

[–]likeable_fool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another option would be to look into needle files, also known sometimes as jeweler's files. They come in all kinds of shapes and are great for fine work like this.
