Working on the railroad. Can you say “Zmall”? I’m just dabbling in the small scale. I think it’s cool but is IS pricey.
A set is $350+ most everything is ala carte & it’s expensive.
Wasn’t difficult to paint the loco or caboose. Decals not hard either. #modeltrains #sooline #Zscale

Only takes a few lines of code to make a beautiful 3D plot in R!
----
library(rayshader)
montereybay |>
sphere_shade() |>
plot_3d(heightmap=montereybay,zscale=50, water=TRUE)
render_highquality()

(I'm cheating of course--the annoying part is loading the data into R!)

It's very difficult to build AI security as an add-on to an existing architecture that is not designed to detect shadow IT (AI chatbots etc.) workload. Good to see Zscaler recognizing strength in a start-up instead of building on their own. www.zscaler.com/press/zscale...

Here is the link to my Thangs store. The designs are up, but I'm still working on getting more prints available for sale.

Hi! I'm an author, but I'm also into model railroading. I'm mainly into Z scale with some interest in N scale. Thangs community collaborator.

also finally figured out how to correctly tonemap PS5 footage with one command:

ffmpeg -i test.webm -vf zscale=t=linear:npl=100,format=gbrpf32le,zscale=p=bt709,tonemap=tonemap=hable:desat=0,zscale=t=bt709:m=bt709:r=tv,format=yuv420p -c:v libx264 -crf 17 -preset slower test2.mkv

Then there's this. I don't know. Not sure I'd spend that much even if I had it. #zscale #modelTrains

Good time to figure out what's left for the model train layout:

- finish reinforcing the frame (no more broken joins!)
- finish smoothing the mainline
- finish the south branch line
- finish the railyard north of the channel
- wire switches
- buildings
- foliage
- bridge
- signals
- lights...

Magnifying goggles and macro pics... and need a finer panel liner for this. #ZScale #ModelTrains
