#modeltrain — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #modeltrain, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Footnote: My limited #modeltrain research suggests that #HOscale modelers would definitely be the ones who add the wildest details to their setting and lore.

  2. Took a detour into #modeltrain scales while researching gaming #miniatures, and now Reddit is showing me train-related posts.

    Turns out that train layout backstories can be just as goofy as #TTRPG setting lore.

  3. 🚂 Rail Roster is on TestFlight! 🚂
    I’m opening up the Rail Roster beta to the public and would love help testing it.

    You can:
    • Build a digital roster of your locomotives & rolling stock
    • Track key details like road name/number, scale, era, notes, and more
    • Organize your collection so it’s easy to browse, search, and reference anytime

    💻 macOS app is coming soon.

    Join the TestFlight beta here: testflight.apple.com/join/1Dvd

  4. Working on a new app!
    Rail Roster is a model train collection tracking app for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.
    More info soon!

  5. #Lionel did in fact, historically make a train set that was a series of cardstock cutouts that could be folded into a train.

    It was called the "Lionel Wartime Freight Train". It was made during World War II, and they made it because they couldn't make metal toys as the metal was being used for the war. (noo) #ModelTrain

  7. Why does it sound like a bomb? Is it going to blow up? Is this the end of #SamsTrains? I'd laugh if it did. Well, I wouldn't laugh. I'd obviously pass away, then I would laugh. (s t) #Modeltrain #Lionel #PolarExpress

  9. It has been a printing spree trying to prepare gifts for my inlaws train setup. I've made a lot of progress while simultaneously trying to troubleshoot print failures. Sometimes the supports come away from their bases near the middle of the print plate.

    You can see a few of the minis here have club feet as a result. I think I've narrowed down some solutions, but there are a lot of variables to test.

    I only plan on printing two or three more, and there are some hanging in the printer to clean, but today I'm taking a break from the printer so I don't lose my mind.

    I did some airbrush tasks instead (I try to batch them). The minis pictured here are now primed but I didn't get a picture and I don't want to get up.

    I don't usually photograph the train setup, but here are a couple of them:

  16. Does anyone know what kind of connector the square one to the left is?
    This is a Märklin 24089 infrared track, and this connector is used to power accessories. I expect this to contain the track power and some voltages and would like to make my own accessories, but for this I need to be able to order such connectors.
