America needs to look at Britain as a warning.
America is getting old.

Ignoring the story and focusing on the image instead, remember when Playmobil trains were proper G Scale trains?
🎉 Some important #CrossBorderRail news! 🎉

After thinking about the idea for more than a decade (yeah, this is later than a DB train!) I am finally starting to plan building a railway organisation for lobbying work. We're soft launching the idea today

This is what I'm sick of the most, solutions to problems that don't actually exist. They are completely out of touch with reality.
I can’t believe how much of the Trump era is about solving problems that *don’t* exist while making all the problems that *do* exist, worse.

There is no one who thinks the biggest problem with air travel right now is not having an area to do pull-ups.
Duffy on what he's doing to improve the airport experience for travelers: "Maybe I want a workout area where people might get some blood flowing doing some pull ups or step ups in the airport."

Auf X (aktiv) bleiben - oder nicht? Ein Leitfaden zum Wechseln:

そういえば…中古品ではありますがようやくこの前、KATOのC50(50周年記念製品)が買えたんですよ……当時は高校生になったばかりでなかなか買えるような値段では無く……(約9年半越し?)

細かいところまで作り込まれててすごい……登場時の仕様ということで、真空ブレーキ管と空気ブレーキ管が併設されていたり、ツヤツヤの仕上がりでいいなあ……

The amount of blood China has on its hands for helping Russia kill Ukrainians is underrated.

China is the reason Russia can still continue its war.

China is effectively at war with Europe and should not be considered a partner.

Partners don’t kill each other

The oldest named train in the world first appeared in the timetables in 1848 and remained there for 154 years until the Grinchs at Virgin Trains dropped all train names in 2002. Royal Scot No 46127 Old Contemptibles is at Chester with the service on 2 August 1951.
