Newer seen the show so not sure if more than the face animates in way other than a train, As for a tender, I guess you could add one to a tank engine for longer range but tenders tend to be highly integrated like seen on the locomotive above. You can’t because tank engines have a closed rear area. There would be no way to access the coal without extensive modifications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As some said extensive modifications, the tender is not just a wagon with coal right after the locomotive its part of it as seen in the OP image Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatastrophicFailure Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Spent entirely too long today canning up some homemade filling for apple… π … We now have 13 pints of the stuff. And I don’t even like apple pie that much. But, with that, the year’s canning is finally done. Still have some lingering peppers to dry but when WWIII breaks out tomorrow and brings nuclear Armageddon, we might die of terminal diabeetus but we certainly won’t starve.

AlamoVampire Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) Tonight im having my 2nd fire in my chiminea for this month. One of the logs i put in earlier in the day long before starting the fire was/is flat and wide, like 7-8 inches wide side to side and like 3 inches thick. I started my fire about an hour ago as i type. This one log has BARELY BURNED!! Its been such a PITA forcing me to use a second starter after using 1 and 4 fatwood. Guys if you make a camp fire or fire in a pit/chiminea and you have a wide and flat log either put it up higher in your stack if you have a bed of ash already or put something under it to cant it at an angle or just to get air under it. Ive had to fight this for an hour with an alarming amount of smoke. Just glad its night and my neighbors who dont know i have a chiminea cant see the plume. As i type fire side here its now arranged in a way that fire is now inching under it but its not a safe bet this will be easy. Making for a fun interactive if smoky affair. 013110092023 its been about 40 minutes since the above was posted. I began this fire around 0030 so just about 90 minutes ago. Normally my fires last about 2 hours give or take. Normally by this far in my first logs are just about if not fully consumed. But this fire? My wide base log is only about 50% consumed and the log that was above it (one of the 3 i started with, base log was first one placed then this was the 2nd one placed) is about 25% if that much. Ive still 2 more waiting to go in. Had not expected my fire to go this long… not complaining but rather marveling at how badly my initial set up affected burn efficiency. 021410092023 My fire was started at about 0030 as you know. Its 0404 as i type and its finally down to near full ember status. Was a warm and very interactive fire. Now after this ill let the ashes cool for a few days before i scoop them away. Remember yall mind your initial set up and arrangement! 040610092023 Edited October 9, 2023 by AlamoVampire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSaint Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 We went on vacation last week, took a cruise to Alaska. Alaska was wonderful. (Pics in the spoiler.) Spoiler However, the cruise itself was not wonderful. The quality of the food and service was way below what we were expecting based on cruises we've taken in the past, despite the fact that this was one of the most expensive vacations we've ever taken. It was very disappointing. That, combined with the other news we received last week, made me come back feeling like I needed a vacation after I got back from my vacation.

AlamoVampire Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 The other day i ordered a copy of the new Predator movie Prey and today arrived. I just popped it into my PS5 to watch and it gives me a language selection popup. Normal stuff to expect when a movie has multiple language dubs. What I did NOT expect and find absolutely AWESOME is that COMANCHE is a choice!!! I know this takes place in the past and involves native american peoples based on the one preview i saw months ago, but to see the Comanche nation honored like this by (guessing their nation is the nation involved in the movie) having their people lend and immortalize their language is awesome! 163110212023 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlamoVampire Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Question: wet roads + front wheel drive hatchback + over acceleration (spinning tires) + turning = ? Well if you are the idiot i just had the pleasure of watching less than 5 minutes ago? Spinning your car into a concrete jersey barrier. Spoiler If youre unfamiliar with the term: The driver decided that since its 0245(when it happened) that they were going to try to peel out/power slide around a turn. Well one, thats hard as heck in a FRONT WHEEL DRIVE, two its been raining off and on so its wet which makes the exceedingly hard nigh impossible and three when your drive and steer wheels are spinning and making noise you have less traction and in the wet youve got none. So they spin and i hear the thunk as he nails the barrier. After 5-10 seconds he drives off into a parking lot to assess the damage of stupidity. Nice to see a bit of instant karma happen and that the only involved car was the idiot. I suspect a good bit of body damage to the car and pride. I doubt they will learn though. 030110272023 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
