  • Rememberance Day / Veterans Day

    Click image for larger version Name: 5a1cbf090cfba4.1675174715118333530532.png Views: 17 Size: 102.1 KB ID: 2290281 On this Eleventh Day of the Eleventh Month, in the United States we honor our Veterans. Worldwide, many nations celebrate Remembrance Sunday, which this year falls on Sunday, November 12th.

    From the trenches to the oceans, islands, and deserts, Veterans answered the call when your country asked.

    You fought to protect our values, and paid a heavy price in doing so. Many continue to pay the price.

    Today, we remember those who fell in service and honor those who returned home.

    I hope you'll take a moment to reflect on the sacrifices of veterans and their families. Let us also recommit ourselves to contributing to a more peaceful world where all people can live free from fear, violence, persecution, retribution and tyranny.

      They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
      Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
      At the going down of the sun and in the morning
      We will remember them.

      For the Fallen

      Lest We Forget, for which ever country those are from who have gone, that have given all for us.

    Here we are already at the end of November. Where has the year gone?...

    While I try to do an article the last week of the month, that didn't happen for October.

    That particular week, my wife and I were working on our property in Tennessee, and as can happen with any construction project, we ran a bit behind schedule. What should have been a three day project to build our first permanent structure (an oversized shed) turned into a week. While I thought I had all the supplies...

  • East Tennessee Relief
    by eric


    Iron Workers Local 384 in Oak Ridge is helping lead relief efforts in Eastern Tennessee, including accessing some remote areas that the official state and federal authorities haven't quite reached yet. Despite what you're seeing on TV and hearing from some politicians, the relief efforts in these remote communities continue to be led by individuals, not the government.

    My brother in law is one of those working with this, and what he's described is beyond devastation.

    This month's SOTS comes to you from MP247 on the NS "Rathole", otherwise known as the Town Formerly Known as Nemo. While we've been coming down here for the last few months doing site prep, the last two weeks was particularly noteable, as we moved our RV onto the site, managed to get internet and water hookups, and almost daily deliveries from Amazon. The first week was all work -- burning brush, bringing down a few trees, burying a septic tank and clearing a path for the BobCat to make it t...

  • New Heritage Locomotive Sets
    by eric

    As Casey Kasem used to say.... the hits just keep on coming....

    And if you're old enough to know who that is, you're going to love the two sets that TrainSimulations.net just released.

    First up.... SD45's in Conrail heritage liveries, which our departed friend Dave Edwards would have loved.

    This set includes as-delivered Erie-Lackawana and Penn Central units, plus Conrail. These were seen anywhere Conrail operated, and will be at home on just about any route...

    I had to do a double-take when I looked at the date today... Yes, September is just around the corner. With that, my youngest started what's hopefully his last semester at the University of North Texas this week, and my granddaughter went back last week to start her last year in elementary school. Time flies way too fast in that regard. Heading back to school also means one of my favorite times of year -- NFL football is back. While the pre-season is not supposed to be an indicator of anythin...

  • Memberships and Why They Matter
    by eric

    Checking Trainsim has been part of my daily routine for the better part of the last 20 years.

    It's like checking the news -- I turn on the PC or open a browser on my phone, and it's there.

    And I'm glad it is -- there are folks here I've known to varying degrees dating back 20 years, and this hobby is one of the few distractions I get from everyday life, and for that I'm grateful.

    Some of you may not realize how close this site came to being like UKTrainsim...
