(Humor). You’re not a “real” model railroader because.....

A recent post got me thinking....  So I decided to start this post 

Please understand this is intended for HUMOR and not to be taken seriously.  Also it may serve as a bit of therapy.

You are not a “Real” Model Railroader because...

How do you transition a road that suddenly ends at the edge of the layout?

I have been putting quite a bit of thought into the edge of my layout and how to not have “my miniature world” just come to an end.

OSCR - new location..up against the wall

So we'ved moved again... back to Toronto. For my Toronto friends up here please get in touch. So this is the Ontario South Central's 4th location but it just won't work in the current living arrangement. It doesn't mean i'm demoloting it though. Here it is leaning up against the wall behind the guitar amp. (The OSCR has always shared a space with a recording 'work station' studio).

The worst paint schemes in history... epic fails of yesteryear.

I understand that many of you are probably feelin' a little bit down, so I thought I would create this blog for the purpose of comedic relief.  Basically the idea is to find the dumbest, funniest, most incorrect and absurd renderings of prototype paint schemes we can.  You'd be surprised just how many fails were turned out by the big names of yesteryear.

I shall start with the classic Santa Fe Warbonnet.

UFO Scene

Online operations game

Hi, I would like to have a fun operations game.

A train is sent into the world. Anyone can pick it up, switch out some cars and send it on with a picture. There is no need to match the equipment being sent, just have some fun.

Please keep the train reasonably short and state your railroad station.

Have fun

That time I saw a 4-8-8-4 as a DPU!

Somewhere in eastern Washington and couldn't believe my eyes! A 4-8-8-4 as a DPU! Not to mention perfect weather and beautiful scenery.  If I hadn't seen it myself I would have thought it was a pair of kpack's models.

The UFO Incident on the ATSF Paradigm Division (Humor)

Several days ago, I had gone out to my layout to run some trains but I was shocked to see what turned out to be some kind of UFO incident alongside the river bank near San Angela (Lawrence, KS).  It appeared that one UFO had crashed near the riverbank with another UFO sitting astride the track. This is the video story of the UFO incident or was it just weather balloons and dummies…….

 

Youtube "for kid" recommendations on rotary dumper video

I recently posted a video of my scratchbuilt rotary dumper and indexer on Youtube.  It currently has 125 views after a month or so.  The really weird part is, when I've shown it to a few friends, viewing it on Youtube, all the recommended/suggested videos are Peppa Pig, nursery ryhmes and other little kid cartoons.  I know kids are very smart these days but most are not interested in old Heyl Patterson rotary dumpers or have any skills to make such a thing.  I'm wondering if anyone has insight to how my video got associated with kid cartoons.
