I got caught on camera during the TED event ;)... I'm on the upper left of the shot, beard showing in the blur of the image.

It Only Took Five Years

Some may remember that in 2011 I've acquired tables to do what was to be the O717 corridor in HO Scale (CSX Miami Sub from Ft. Lauderdale-Deerfield Beach). I was off to a good start, having finished top sections in 2012. But college happened, and I lost track of progress, plus that was when my LEGO interests really kicked into high gear (as if they hadn't already). Fast forward to 2016, which was my first HO ops session on David DiMassimo's layout at Gold Coast Railroad Museum. Granted, I've fudged around, operated trains with Rudy and other railfans as I had acquired my CITX locomotive and actually had power to run. It was at this point my interests in HO scale model railroading were totally rekindled and, perhaps the first nudge towards future LEGO dark ages. Since I decided to stay local for graduate school, I won't be going anywhere anytime soon, so I am, as availability dictates, going to maintain a layout. I just purchased table legs for one of the 8ftx2...

HOT, HOT, HOT! News from FEC and a Special Miami Vantage Point

The Florida East Coast Railway has just announced that it will purchase twenty-four GE ES44C4s from General Electric Transportation . It sounds like the once-stubborn Shortline by the Shoreline finally listened to the pleas of its folks and fans and broke down about 55 million buckaroos to get some clean locomotives. The ES44C4s have different traction mechanisms than the popular ES44AH. This follows semi-official word from Jan 15 that the purchase was to be green-lighted. Many folks are had upset that the railroad is no longer a virgin to GE, and are puzzled that they are getting more engines than they need. It needs to be remembered that as it is, the railroad is power short. Plus, the SD70M-2s, which had left the company in dissatisfaction are going to be handed back to EMD soon. Needless to say, this might have been one of the draws  for the decision to switch to GE, absent the fact the engines are in some ways obsolete per ECH. They are also going to need it for the Port ...

YouTube's New "One Channel" Layout

Image
I have been a YouTuber for 5 and a half years and have been through the peak of the site... and now the trough of it. They rolled out a new design early this month and it is.... terrible. Not to mention a big middle finger to the contributors and partners  like ME. A Look Back at Previous Channels In case it is not known, my channel is focused on a hodgepodge of videos of transportation and scale models built with LEGO bricks and the like. I achieved partnership in 2010 so many of these screencaps lack the perks but show the drive that I had to become one... I did, but that's when things turned southward. The first design I caught up with had MANY, MANY features. I wasn't a partner then but was to some extent up and coming. Note: hobbies and media (I was in adolescence at the time, which is why I was quite expressive), being a "Director" (Wait, what's that now?), etc... and more in the subsequent screenies.  This my friends is how YouTube became popular. ...
