What are your thoughts on the Hornby TT120 range?

>>2049904 It's good. It's the only accurate british scale as of now. The gauge / scale ratio is correct, meaning you wouldn't need to regauge everything.
Believe me, finescale is a pain in the ass.

is train collecting still a thing even? I thought the market for this compulsive impulse had been permanently hijacked by EDC spergery or something

>>2053194 “Collecting” trains in the U.S. is mostly a boomer thing with Lionel. Most model railroaders like to build stuff and acquiring trains is a means to an end. Despite a slight pandemic boom the hobby is slowly dying both for collectors and builders.

Keep in mind this is for bikes meant to be loaded up. I guess a marketing exec at some point decided kickstands are for poors so no expensive bike can have them now, just like MTBs got stuck with Presta valves. They will literally drill 15+ holes just in case your bike bags use bottle bosses instead of straps, but outright refuse drilling 2 for a kickstand

At what point are you a “train enthusiast” vs “someone who just realizes that North America needs better trains?” I don’t memorize Soviet trainsets, I just recognize that America would obviously be better off if we built a good rail network. I don’t have any preference or bias for trains, I just know that we need them to protect our environment and reduce traffic congestion. They would also improve travel times for many trips and revive downtown economies. I don’t think that makes me a “railfan,” it just means I see an obvious truth.

Is there still a fixie subculture anywhere out there, or am I showing my age? Im still enamored with the whole “fixie punk” aesthetic. Considering jumping back on social media is there are still people doing this. But I realize its a niche subculture from the early 2000’s thats been made fun of since day 1.
