Fascinating that President Madison could have travelled that route!
Scale diagram of PLI Arbutus (I don’t know if this was ever produced at O scale as the diagram implies)
Ad to “Take the Interurban Car” advertising the PLI…which fails to actually mention Portland, Maine.
PLI #14 Narcissus under (slow) restoration at the Seashore Trolley Museum. It’s the only remaining PLI rolling stock.
If it’s modeled after the Portland Lewiston Interurban (where most cars were from Laconia Car Company), it would be worth a decent price tag to me. (Probably the Seashore Trolley Museum too.)
This thread reads like if @milesintransit.com had a time machine…
sources tell me the head of the Chongqing Metro was a big fan of going to the dentist's office as a child

We'll now accept direct links to individual YouTube videos in our Reports section. We will still limit them to one per channel per event...so don't flood us with a dozen videos to the same train show.

100% agree!
Why are we adding Facebook links?
Some train shows and clubs are ONLY on Facebook.
…or are you asking why Facebook sucks?
There are a ton of reasons like privacy, ethical, censorship, political, etc…

B&O HS just posted this gem. What was the last train show you went to and how many of these boxes got checked?
[heavy sigh]
Okay, I resisted for a long time, but FINE! I give up.
We’ll start including Facebook links in our event pages and club pages.
😩
Facebook still sucks.
