Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving! I spent it with some new friends and had a great time. I'm still plugging away at my stories and hope to have something out by New Years, but until then, have this holiday greeting from Ike and Vivian.

got myself a rivarossi u25c. It’s a gorgeously well done model! I’m probably gonna get more and use them as the main power on my layout alongside some SD45’s

I have a degree in railroad operations and operate trains in sunny Southern California because my parents thought it was a good idea to take me to a railroad museum when I was 2 without considering the monumental repercussions

wonder when this whole AI craze will blow over. personally, this whole scramble to market and personify AI as anything remotely close to "helpful" feels like a weak attempt to rationalize the existence of something we already had.
AI isn't even that smart; it's just using what we told it to think.

recent escapades into Godot aside I haven’t really made much progress on the SD100 other than cutting holes in it

#wip this is the infamous Mr. K, the metaphorical "third wheel" operator at the amusement park Ike and Vivian work at. he's rather self centered and regularly gets passed over for promotions, and blames it on Ike. He's mostly harmless. Mostly.

speaking of narrow gauge diesels, I would like to direct your attention to the single largest and most powerful 2ft gauge diesel locomotive ever made:
GE's UM6B, with 4 traction motors, 106,000 lbs of weight, and a blistering 540 horsepower. built 1973 for South African Railways 2 foot operations

I feel kind of bad for letting my blog go without updates this long. Sorry!! I’ve had a few articles in progress for a long time but I haven’t had the time or energy to crank em out. I was gonna make a post about Mr. I’s Magic Model Railroad but I’m probably gonna save that for later (1/2 🧵)
