The model I have now was bought by my mom I think in 2014 or earlier but not sure, just remember she was alive to do it, lol. It’s only had 2 problems since then: one was a footie sock caught in one of the tubes, and the other was just recently - the plastic rods that hold the inside front panel timer-dial circuit board and the outer cover panel broke, thus disabling the timer-dial. It’s rigged to work now, though. It just ran on rinse, spinning, spinning like Kang and Kodos, until unplugged.

The proposed bill would ban ICE agents from wearing face coverings during arrests and require them to clearly display their name and agency.

The fact that this is even an issue is outrageous. There are increasing reports of fake “ICE” agents grabbing people off streets, and i am sure there are more than are reported. I am certain this is my white privilege talking, but it is staggering how fast we got to this stage! (To clarify, not that we got here, but in 6 months? Holy fucking shit!)

What a happy coincidence that’s he interested in real and model trains! I wonder who built the darn thing? Someone who’s known in the model railroad community? Or someone totally unknown?

It does look like the ceiling requires a lot of stooping. Mr. Xu needs to raise the rest of the house. :smile:

The previous owner built the train set up back in the 60s.
