Is this allowed? Literal rusty rail :)

Found this rail in the pile in Como Colorado, dates to 1885, we still might use it though, it's in good shape!

Now I'm no 40K expert...

Didn't the Imperium of Man ban AI? Because it kinda ruined everything? Also, paintings don't crack like that.

🚨🚨A Devastating Day in Railroad Preservation🚨🚨

Today is a sad day that should not go unnoticed, the Lahaina steam locomotives have been cut to ribbons without warning. The Sugar Cane Train closed in the 2010's, and the rolling stock was vandalized and a bit burned by the Lahaina fire. Without prior notice, someone has scrapped the surviving rolling stock.

(Photos are not mine, I found them on the NG Discussion Forum)

Sure, AI can do a lot of -sometimes- amazing things, but what about this?

See I know this will get downvoted to hell because this is barely even a debate site anymore, but I pose a serious question: Can AI make a basket? I'm sure some of you will be like "Oh I'm sure we could get a machine to make that" but is that really art? Can an AI make decisions on what colors of willow would look best on the finished product and know where to put them? And most of all, would it have any charm to it, or would it be a copy-paste utilitarian basket.
Cheers!

New Skill Unlocked! (And AI can never do it)

Can AI weave a friggin' basket? probably not... I went to an Ancestral Skills Gathering in Nebraska and learned to weave baskets, pretty neat, right? (Took about 8 hours of literal blood sweat and tears)

Green one spotted! (BNSF 1660)

I spotted some cascade green right outside of the Coors Plant in Golden, Colorado, US. I was just ridin' shotgun and saw something green, so I got a video of it! It was doing yard maneuvers at some industrial complex right next to the Colorado Railroad Museum. Enjoy!

What's happening in this area?

Found this interesting place in southwest Indiana with the Classic Owners filter on RailGuide. Any clues as to what caused this jumble? Thanks!

What is it like on Heritage Railroads?

Do you guys have any experience being on the train crew/maintenance/shop crews at heritage railroads in the US? The main ones that I'd be considering in my future are more like museums than full railroads, museums like the Colorado Railroad Museum or the Georgetown Loop Railroad. Any statistics about pay/work-life balance would be much appreciated, thanks!

Some Train Coloring Pages I made for Y'all

Here are some of my line art coloring pages that I made with the Canva line tool while I was bored. The first one is my favorite, as I have put many hours into it, as well as many hours into the real thing in Como, Colorado! 100% AI-free, I aint Richard Crabtree! (long story) If you want to see some colored versions, I'll comment them. Feel free to use these as much as you like but try to credit me if possible. Also check out my new-ish sub at r/Narrow_Gauge_Railroad

Dumb Idea? Or Really Cool? Brass Body Scratchbuild

Is it just a blatantly bad idea to make a brass body and just get stronger springs? I'm getting into brass scratch-building for the model train layout I've got, and I'd just be soldering real thin sheets of brass into a car body so that it'll get realistically damaged. If I get dents, then I'll just pop 'em back out again. If anyone has done this before, any tips would be appreciated. I'll also post pics of it for y'all if I end up doing this...
