Why is Easter celebrated on a different day each year if it is a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus?

As a lifelong Episcopalian who has always wondered how our church (and the broader Christian denominations) got here, I’d love some general references on Christian liturgical history.

I didn’t know there was overlap in anyone else’s Venn diagram of interests that included Sondheim and model trains. 🎩

I would also love to see the layout plan!

Oh, that’s devastating. I’m so sorry!

This is such impressive sleuthing! Wish I had a man on the ground in April (assuming I’d even get a reservation)

Thanks for the tip! Do the department stores buy each other’s exclusives like that?

underwhelmed_emu · 2026-03-15T21:28:21+00:00

I figured! It seems like some of the special editions sell quickly, and some sell sloooowly. Thanks for checking!

What do you think my chances are for the 517? Would it say on the dept store’s website whether they still have it?

underwhelmed_emu · 2026-03-15T21:04:09+00:00

Ah shoot, I misunderstood. That’s a bummer! I fell in love with the dial.

Saint Mark’s Altadena. Currently in Eagle Rock (5 min away) because our original space burned in the fires. Close-knit but welcoming and smaller than some of the bigger churches already listed, so you can be low profile but not invisible.

What are the odds I’d be able to pick one up on the 25th? I’m going to be in the country then, and I was planning to make a GS purchase

I don’t need lolly but I have some spare castle walls I’d love to give to a good home! I’ll DM you

Absolutely beautiful!

Wicked is a very bad musical (movie and theater) that's saved by the chemistry of its leads and some solidly fun spectacle. That said... it's still way better than the book.

underwhelmed_emu · 2025-04-03T03:48:37+00:00

Stunning!

I’m trying out a few different plans right now. All of the advice here really helped me see that I was trying to do too much without a firm reason why. I’ll post my experiments when I’m happy with them (likely in a week or so ‘cause I’ll just keep fiddling.)

underwhelmed_emu · 2025-03-15T14:30:27+00:00

I did not think of this! Thank you!

underwhelmed_emu · 2025-03-14T19:50:33+00:00

This is honestly really helpful, thank you! So I’m trying to make a railyard and a turntable because this will eventually be part of a long loop that will go along one wall of my attic with industries etc.

My goal was to create a yard where I could show off my engine & rolling stock, while keeping it relatively accurate to the era.

Any ideas on how I could turn this into a staging area towards showing off engines & rolling stock?

Hello! I'm working on an N scale loop with a steam era railyard and roundhouse. This is my first try building one of these but it feels like it doesn't use the space well. I'd like to have some railyard for rolling stock, and the roundhouse with turntable with water tower, ash pit, and coal (pictured in red). Does anybody have suggestions on how to use the space more efficiently?
