"STOP IT, STOP IT, LET THAT MODEL TRAIN GO!"
But we can still love you, right Big Boy? Right???
"Thomas the Tank Engine is a totalitarian state where the Fat Controller seems to want everyone to do his bidding..."
"Yeah buddy it's called work."

"Do you know what kind of train this is?"
One week ago, literally. "We are all collectively joining YouTube's favorite British rail-rugger to beat up on this brand."
Yesterday. "Wait no, you can't move them to online direct sales; think of how many model shops need the... brand we were beating up on last week."
Somebody overseas just discovered a D2C sales model and its got people mad...
What is happening on the Strasburg today? ๐ณ
First this has been a great week for Sabrina in swimwear apparently.
Second, apparently this was Schwartz in 1993 cooking "yes but what if skunk in glasses?" 'cause we all still here talking about it. ๐ฆจ๐
Inside you are two railfans:
Make me Flickr CEO and give the people what they want.
Incredibly high prices and no promise of a steam train appearing. Tsk tsk tsk.
"If Flickr really wanted to make the MODE festival a hit with their main users you know what they'd do?"
"What?"
"Get a bunch of lingerie models to a train museum!"
"Harharharhar."
"Ah so you have a Flickr Pro account? So tell me, art nudes or train pictures?"
...
"Train pictures."
"Yeah I could tell." ๐ค
Meme of man sitting in front of CGI renders of model trains saying "Shouldn't have smoked that shit, now I'm in Rapido product renders."
Looks like a peaceful place to be honest.
Oh don't worry, they were already the biggest donor to Trump's gilded ballroom. ๐

I hate this timeline. Get me off.
Building a parallel route next door to an established competitor, is a pretty bad genesis for a railroad. Especially when it's side-by-side with that competition half the way!
I love you my god awful class one railroad, but boy... you were awful. ๐คฃ
Cartoon of anthropomorphic skunk and jackalope, the skunk; she is flirtatiously touching the jackalope's ear making him visibly nervous.
This awesome commissioned piece done by @sarul.bsky.social. I think Sally may have had to much Bud, and Maverick doesn't have quite enough Baja Blast. ๐คฃ
Me on March 17th, GAMING:
Gabe Newell as Mr. House from Fallout New Vegas
"Why you see Mr. Howard, I have the files for Century of Steam. I only need you to bring me cold fusion so we can restart the Steam store page for it. Everyone works for me eventually Mr. Howard."
- Mr. Newell
Me in the wasteland for 200 years trying to find the last operating developer computer with the unreleased game files on it:
Scene from Fallout TV series of bomb going off in distance with Cooper Howard watching from window, captioned "My luck, the day right before Century of Steam releases."
"Oh boy, today is going to be my day."
Global geopolitics: "Nah."
