Fun fact: There's a railroad museum in my tiny little town (it used to be a hub on a rail line) and they have cool model trains in it.

@scalzi NGL, I'm a unapologetic foamer and like model trains. Although there's no way I would build one myself as I have no space or talent for the kind of work that goes into building one.

@scalzi the nice thing about Midwestern rail yards for modeling (he says in all sincerity) is that you don’t need to put in any topography, everything you need is already all right there on a flat piece of foam core

@scalzi not so far from here there is a place that used to have six train tracks running through it (and a station that is now some kind of conference place), which also has a wonderful museum next to where the six tracks used to go.

@scalzi If anyone is curious, these are N-Scale trains, one of the smallest model trains you can buy that run on electricity. For reference, they are about the size of your finger.

@scalzi I think Mastodon and model trains go very well together.
