"Draw your name"...
Visiting work HQ for an All-Hands meetup – and the first task we had to do was “Draw your name”… It felt like I was cheating and too easy for me.
Most people got my first name – but some funny people suggested my name could be “Tank” or “Steam” or even “Engine”… My Latino co-worker kept referring to me as “Loco”…

Just learned Kato is making new N scale TGV sets, scheduled for release in April 2026 – I am excited!

I am sure I am not the only one who have thought of this – but are there any plans of making a dedicated mobile app version of this platform?
It looks all right on my mobile browser, but personally I like to have a dedicated app for it.

Another model train fan here – primarily interested in Danish style trains. Mostly collecting and running N scale, but is experimenting with T and G scales – quite the opposite ends of the scales.
A question for people: Would it be OK to mention the Discord server Model Train People and recommend it as an additional way to interact and grow the community?

Hey! Another new person here.
Normally I run N scale, but I had an idea that would require G scale.
Are there anyone here that have experience creating modular layouts for G scale? If so, I would love to hear about experiences, pitfalls, tips ect.
