    Cowboy Bebop, Deathnote, Space Dandy, Kids On The Slope, Fuli Culi, and features like Spirited Away. Then there's Star Blazers and Battle Of The Planets but i haven't watched them since the '80s.

    We could use some more rain in Massachusetts. It's getting dry again. The Charles river is down a bit. Just this spring we celebrated breaking our last drought. Other than that, the weather for my vacation has been beautiful. 🙂

    It's a fascinating image

    I recently ordered a 1980s LIONEL repro "Hiawatha" 4-4-2 steam loco and streamlined passenger train set. The motor doesn't turn, which is fine, since I'm rebuilding the train for 2-rail running regardless. 🙂 I removed the motor block and the body shell casting is still very heavy. Some time ago I got a used set of Weaver aluminum 2-rail Hiawatha passenger cars gambling I'd find a loco for them. The cars in the original LIONEL set were based on their UPRR M10000 diesel streamliner tooling.

    I posted a monochrome version of that image on page 1 of this thread. Less garish. 🙂 I'm pretty sure now it's AI.

    I've always wondered how those Revell kits were mastered. Did they carve oversized wooden bucks like for model cars? 🙂 It's also interesting they reused the old boxart.

    It's been interesting watching videos from British YouTubers who pronounce Heljan with a Y-sound for the J. Sure, it's an European name, but it sounds weird. They make trains in British OO and O scales. I still associate them with kits of buildings.

    Various modern lightweight trains were tried out here in New England around the time of the Aerotrain. They suffered a similar fate, though the trains built by ACF for Spain's Talgo service were fine on Spanish rails despite the uncomfortable ride on New Haven RR tracks There is at least one 1:8 scale ride-on Aerotrain model.

    Some of John's final posts on FB were of his cat. I'm hoping someone's taking good care of Grom.

    Seen in Shrewsbury, MA in 2016. Appears to be the mascot of a local transportation company
