Thanks everyone. Yes, please do not urinate on or near live powered third rails. Today we see a road grader functioning as a piece of railroad MOW equipment. Rail Road Grader by dr_spock_888, on Flickr

This topic has been discussed a number of times before. It is likely due to the location being a popular tourist area and the costs of doing business there--higher rent, business tax, etc.

It depends on a number of factors such as features you select for your listing. There is a calculator: http://www.fees.ebay.com/feeweb/feecalculator

Today we can go on the go and don't have to stop at a station or siding. The rail outhouse features traditional drop chute toilet aka hole in floor direct dump onto tracks. We can see and count rail ties below if we forget to bring something to read. Rail Outhouse by dr_spock_888, on Flickr

It is a free market. As a seller, you can set any price you want. It still remains to be seen if anyone will buy it. Please let us know what happens.

Welcome back and congratulations on the new job.

Thank you all. Thanks. Every time I see MRR, I think of my stacks of Model Railroader magazine.

Today we are defending train tracks against rockets, artillery, and mortars with the Centurion C-RAM HEMTT. Rail C-RAM Hemtt by dr_spock_888, on Flickr

Nice job. It is a good representation of a harvest. I can't help but feel a bang might happen each time he grabs a peppercorn fruit.

Great Christmas present. Orange and white works really well.

1) Interesting. What kind of plastic was it printed with? Last year I had a motor mount printed on PLA. Clutch power was very strong, now it is almost all gone. I can use LEGO plates around and on top of it to hold it in place. Would ABS printing's clutch power last longer? 2) A track cleaner MOC might help with that. 3) What type of paint did you use? Brushed or sprayed on? 4) BS folder has been approved.

Today we take cameronmiller1988's advice to go camping on the better way and avoid those holiday speed traps. Rail Camper by dr_spock_888, on Flickr

Good tavern. Interesting colour scheme and services. The monkey appears to be a card shark.

Blue group is bigger. Let's compromise. Red + blue = purple lavender.

That's awesome. I have a long Centipede that derails in R40 crossovers.

Thanks. Glad you're enjoying them. Thanks. Will spaceshuttle do? Thanks. Can't do that. No switch track. What are the chances of the FRA (Federal Railroad Administration for our outside of USA friends) will fine Wonder Woman for safety violations?

Greetings. Thanks to herwin's Arduino trains and Lowa's nicely printed track switch motor, I feel Arduino inspired again. I remember I had bought some eBay SG90 servo motors and 3D printed a servo mount at my local public library last year. I dug them out and in 1 - 2 hrs I have it working. I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to build and code. I reused my Arduino PF train module and code sketch. I connected the servo motor to +/- power and one of the PWM pins. Measured the angles needed for the servo arm to be at to flip the switch. Put the values in the servo.write() function and viola! The pinouts on this servo motor are brown wire is ground, red wire is +5V, and orange is control signal. It can be used with a push button switch to activate instead of fancy Bluetooth devices. That could be useful for public displays where the kids (or adults) can press buttons and watch the train as one half goes one way and the other half tries to go the other way.

Today we discovered a new use for the retired spaceshuttles and Canada's Canadarm. Rail Shuttle by dr_spock_888, on Flickr

They are narrow train tracks. They are 4 wide. The normal train tracks in CITY train sets are 6 wide.

Congratulations on being the grand prize winner! https://www.lego.com/en-us/rebrick/contest-page/contests/best-friends What do you plan to do with the fox?

Is it still 50% off Sea Rats ship licensing to rebuild my fleet? I'll be back.

Today we have a jewel thief walking on the tracks. I don't think she sees or hear the invisible rail plane approaching. That can be bad for railroad safety as the plane isn't equiped with train horns or ditch lights. Stay tuned for the truth. Rail Invisible Plane by dr_spock_888, on Flickr

Congrats. Stick is a lot of fun. Honda has good manual. LEGO or car parts. You can try to win LEGO in contests like the Pneumatic Contest.
