November 9, 20241 yr I love model trains! As a kid in New York I used to visit the little hidden train stores scattered throughout the city and one really big store named Polks that is now long gone. I built little dioramas funded by my grandfather, and dreamt about huge and complicated model cities that I absolutely did not have the room for, not to mention the money, because those little Nscale German trains were expensive as heck. Now of course most of us settle for things like TrainSim world, But it's not the same. I just found out about this place in New Jersey and I very much want to go visit there. The little kid in me is stupidly excited. We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

November 9, 20241 yr Never heard of this place and I follow model trains as well. Those bridges are incedible. It has a European Feel to it but with American / Canadian rolling stock, I like it when people just do what they want, he was living the dream Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me

Here in San Francisco, when I was a kid in the 1960s, there was Bill's Terminal on Market St. between Dolores & 14th St. Closer to home was Franciscan Hobbies on Ocean Ave. Both long gone. Great memories of going to those places.

November 10, 20241 yr I have a few N sclae model trains. Z scale engines and track is so tiny and therefore too hard to repair for me. HO scale is so large that a layout is too large for my spaces. But America loves HO scale anyway. It was, and is still, the most seen scale in hobby shops. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel. Crystal Light VR.

November 10, 20241 yr And then there's the Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg, Germany. They even have an airport with arriving and departing planes.
