Intro post time I guess.

I’m Loraine; 18 years old. I do art, I write. Uhhhhhhh. I like trains. Steamies & Dutch electrics specifically (although the Azuma has a soft spot in my heart.)

You've heard about Rail200 this year, but what about Braille200?

PhD researcher Tilly Guthrie highlights that this year marks not only 200 years of the railways, but also of the invention of Braille.

Instead of lowering grocery prices, taking on Big Tech or stopping data broker fueled murders like what we saw in Minnesota, the FTC is picking on trans kids.

US FTC workshop criticizing medical care for transgender youth draws staff opposition
Some staff members at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission have raised concerns about a planned workshop by the agency on what it calls the dangers of gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth, saying it oversteps the FTC's consumer-protection authority, according to a letter seen by Reuters.

All the models I've made from his meshes have been deleted. I'll remake them from scratch when needed.

Can we take a moment to celebrate this train. 9167 will cross 4 countries this evening and dive beneath the sea on its way from Amsterdam to London. We took over from our Dutch colleagues in Brussels. It's quite simply Europe on rails, and it makes me very proud indeed. 😊
