Just kidding, but you may find yourself going back on some of the first ones you did and improving what you did years later as your skills improve.Great![]()

Parents or student didn't get their moneys worth out of that education!Wife just showed me a post on X from a young college kid. He posted that he was so distraught about Tuesday's election that he was going to move out of the country. He wrote that he was going to move to Hawaii!
I don't know whether the original poster was for real or someone being factitious. He just better have a lot of money if he's moving there. I hope that he isn't representative of the current crop of college graduates.
Well my second weathering was much better, probably because i went easy on the "dirt and rust" spray. I do find watching some weathering programs, especially about steam, that some of these "teachers" are way off. I didn't try weathering steam yet, but i was growing up around steam. Comparing live steam, which i have pretty easy acces to, and some of the old films and pictures, to some of the weatering techniques, i find that when the time comes i'll have to mostly develop my own style. Many of these guys on YouTube overdo it.Just kidding, but you may find yourself going back on some of the first ones you did and improving what you did years later as your skills improve.
While teasing me about itI'm not despicable, I just know where to get what I like!
The trains in Japan and Germany are generally cleaner anyway. I haven't been to Japan, but Germany was my regular stop for Europe.Luckily I don't care about weathering. I could see that it could become an obsessive compulsion. I am in awe of those of you who do it as they look cool.
For me the trains represent an emotional response so the exact "perfectness" of it doesn't do anything for me. I want to go to Japan or Germany and ride trains when I look at or run my trains, or remember when I rode them for specific ones I have, and those memories and desires happen whether or not they look brand new plasticy or nicely weathered and realistic.
Nothing I said above should imply any sort of negativeness to those who do it. I'm just glad I've avoided that compulsion.
Two out of three of my kids went to college. It was money well spent, worth every penny. I wish the third had to, but she does well for herself in the teamsters' union working for Costco.Parents or student didn't get their moneys worth out of that education!

They get dirty. Especially the freight but they all get road (track?) grime etc. they probably are cleaner but I’ve not seen German ones in a long while. Japan more recently.The trains in Japan and Germany are generally cleaner anyway. I haven't been to Japan, but Germany was my regular stop for Europe.
He maybe a young kid but Terry had a neighbor over Wednesday who is late 50’s early 60’s ask Terry when we were moving to Hawaii. She wasn’t kidding either. Terry told her Hawaii is the 50th state of the USA and the women said but it’s not attached to North America…Wife just showed me a post on X from a young college kid.

Education and success are not co-joined. There has always been people with lack of intelligence just like there has always been less ambitious/lazy people. The thing is now with social media they can broadcast to the world that lack of intelligence or demonstrate their laziness.Parents or student didn't get their moneys worth out of that education!
Yes they can, and as painfull as this is to watch...i'm not sure how long your last assertion will hold outThe thing is now with social media they can broadcast to the world that lack of intelligence or demonstrate their laziness.
It’s a great world
Is that where we went wrong (according to the kids)?Yes they can, and as painfull as this is to watch...i'm not sure how long your last assertion will hold out:
