>>1494488Amazon Japan has a lot of stuff and the prices are good as long as it's first party Amazon. Plus you get 2-day shipping to the US for the same price most sites charge for 5 day shipping. Some people also like HobbySearch but I find their shipping and prices a little high.
>>1494532I've actually never looked at Amazon Japan except for when I was looking for used sets. I primarily use HobbySearch for the new releases that I want.
I ordered some stuff from Plaza Japan back in mid March and it never showed up so I just got a refund. Has anyone else had the Kung Flu affect train shipments from Asia or elsewhere? Normally I get good prices and cheap shipping to the U.S. There’s a whole world of Japanese N scale that never makes it to the U.S. market.
>>1494485>How do you afford the space for a model railwayI joined a club>how do you afford so many trainsI don't have a girlfriend or kids.
>Riots in Minnesota's Twin CitiesPositive thoughts please guys. One of the best hobby stores in the state is surrounded by vandalism and looting, and one of the local HO scale clubs is not far from the PD shop that was burned down.Jimmies are fucking rustled right now.

>>1494842You did this, for what?
i miss this nigga like you wouldnt believe
>>1494320People on here say that McDonall Douglas management took over Boeing after the merger, but they didn't waste any time in phasing out the 717 program
>>1490868Probably like a regular 727 but with bigger engines on the side and and no middle engine
>>1488799ATL to MCIWay comfier than the 757 I flew on from MCI to ATL earlier because it was 3x2 instead of 3x3
>>1494322Boeing honestly dropped the whole DC-9 line after the merger, sadly.
>>1494325sounds nice.
>tfw passing helmet-fags with the wind in my hair
>>1492367Couldn't you just put them on your neck and crank the volume up?
>>1491865Most accidents I have been in were my own fault, not from being hit. The one time I was hit was when I was a noob and riding on the sidewalk and a lady in a Jeep didn't think I was coming up to the crossing that fast. She was super upset and offered to give me some cash after. But I was fine because I had a helmet and my bike is a tank.All other times were from me doing stupid shit like trying to jump off a thing and getting caught on stairs or doing something like >>1491809But at night where the parked car was actually not visible to me, because I hadn't planned on being out that late.
>mutts will never have the infrastructure that allows them to ride home drunk without needing a helmet
>>1492844Based. What a hell hole to live in.
>>1491400>see someone with no helmet>just continue along with my ride and DGAF
jumbo and widebody thread 3: pacific boogaloo
>>1494326I like the stark, oversized lettering. It kinda reminds me of >>1490563Then again, I don't think the current one is THAT bad. It's certainly better than most of the euro-white mush we have today, but I do understand the disappointment of going from something so striking and iconic like the old one to something that's barely "okay".
>>1494527what gets me the worst about the new livery is the dropping of the old logo. i feel like that livery would be better if the bottom was blue and the lettering was more distinct. the metallic grey and blue tail is good tho imho.
>>1490563>RAT deployed on finalFor what purpose?
>>1494661Pic was taken at the Boeing plant, test I presume
>>1494727looking at the background that seems to be the case.
>That's a really neat bike you got there, anon! >Mind if I give it a try?Post the cost of your bike.Post your answer.
>>1484875>3000€>ehm no, it'd be too dangerusIt's a 29er with bbshd, I've only let it test iit out to two coworkers of mine
>>1484875Idk, probably 4-5000 NOK or something.
$100 + spray paint and clear coatSure

800$ brakeless track bikeI will just explain where on the spectrum one needs to be to be able to ride it.They will have decided against it before i am finished. Probably regreted even asking me.
hop in dude
>>1491610waht does it smell like
>>1491617poo
>>1491576A commercial LTA pilot certificate is also a LTA Instructor certificate.
>>1485349so exactly the same thing?

How do you avoid this when cycling? I took only a bottle of water for a hilly two hour ride and 30min before home i utterly died and had to stop
>>1492443I love that album OP. Refuge of the Roads.
>>1493254Good show
>>1492443I've recently started to take gummi bears with me. They're full of sugar, are easily portionable and don't melt. Otherwise Mr. Tom or bananas as others already have pointed out
>>1492443>How do you avoid this when cycling? Consistent and regularly fueling yourself with good nutrition.If I eat a good breakfast, I can go 4-5 hours without refueling and if conditions are right, I can ride that length without hydrating but in both cases I'll be worn out but not completely burned out.Good Breakfast>1/4cup of steel cut oats boiled for 30 minutes then topped with 1tbsp brown sugar, cinnamon, and splash of olive oil>cappuccino, 6oz espresso, 6oz whole milk steamed/frothed, 1 tbsp brown sugar>2 slices whole wheat or honey wheat bread, hummus or butter spread or pb/j or dipped in olive oil + balsamic vinegar + dried garlic and herbs mix>2 boiled eggs, 9 minute boil, chilled in cool water, then salt and pepper after peeled>16oz glass of whole milk>full range once a day multivitamin/mineralSometimes I don't have the time for the oats or eggs but the bread, milk, multivitamin, and espresso are essential. And for dinner, I almost always have beans, meat/fish, bread, and milk. I need to eat more fruits and veggies, I kinda don't eat any fruits or veggies, just a fuck ton of carbs, meat, and dairy plus the multivitaminComment too long. Click here to view the full text.

What happened to Hambini?My flatmate ordered a Canyon Ultimate CF and I wanted to roast him with the infamous Canyon Hambini video but it's set private. (https://youtu.be/kDIaNEeyU0w)A lot of his other videos are gone too, as well as his twitter.Did CIA niggers finally get him?
>>1493808>why such bad frames got past QClol, they are doing it with full awareness of how shitty their bikes really arewatch >>1492276
Lads, so which brand produces still decent frames for a decent price, please no naked frames, as I cannot build my own bike.I will avoid Canyon anyways, even though I am from Germany.Their welding looks like shit I have read numerous time that there are problems with the frames.
>>1494584>By posting that you are engaging in the action of lambasting journalists to keep them in check.People have been "lambasting" CNN and the rest of the media for 3 years for that and much much more and if anything the problem has grown. Journalists only exist to feed hate porn to their echo chambers and no longer need to care about their credibility because outrage gets much better ratings than facts.
>>1494649Hambro recommends Giant, Look, and Time. Also Specialized looks decent on his official chart-o-shitness though I've never heard him specifically recommend them. I think Giant and Specialized are america-only and the other two are expensive, so....move to america?
>>1494649Aluminum is safer to buy than carbon, as it's harder to fuck up from a manufacturing standpoint. Still fuck Canyon though.
Just got my first scoot, see you later bike nerds
>>1486099>hit pothole>die
>>1487384I never see rental bike or scooter users wearing a helmet.
>>1486099Good luck changing a tube/tire. Dick
does anyone have the video of some absolute madman zigzagging through the traffic with one of these at insane speed. it was filmed from perspective of motorcycle dashcam i think.
I used to unironically blast around on a non electric one. Incredibly underrated method of transport. It's quick, easy, and you can flaunt traffic rules fucking easy because as soon as you hit a red light you can just hop off and become a pedestrian.Can't really do that with the electric ones because they're heavy as fuck and quite bulky. I miss it but it's not as good since I moved to Europe. Too many cobbles.
>pic related - M54 (Veitnam 1969)
I'm surprised /n/ isn't talking about this ascendu bike yet.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBmidqqFeFwi feel pretty good with this alternative for biking up imposible climbs.
He could do with no suspension on the front.
>>1494533>if you pedal a bike at walking pace up a mountain you do get to ride it back downI'd rather do that on two wheels than three though.
Needs one of these on the back for sure.
>>1494548I know, I just wanted to post it
>a third set of handlebars in your face>three wheelsno thanks
This is the Newark Flat Crossing: the only part left on the English rail network where two railway lines cross at grade like this.The problem is, the East Coast Main Line - the north-south line in the image, one of the network's primary arteries - is crossed by another busy line. This puts a hard cap on rail traffic that can traverse the ECML. Complicating factors are the presence of the nearby River Trent, and the important A46 road, both of which also use bridges to cross the Trent nearby.It's a mess: how would you re-engineer the crossing to remove the bottleneck and free up the ECML?
>>1492884>then you'd need to run the elevated section all the way southward and over the TrentOr just lower the access road under it.
>>1493186>>1493218did you two just skip over the part of the plan with the ramps and the loop-de-loop?
>>1493804Did you just skip over the part where anon rejected the loop-de-loop for beeing too tight?
>>1493812[drawing not to scale]
Think the only approach is to construct a new bridge over the ECML carrying Lincoln line.Cost of getting a blockade on ECML is likely to be the governing factor. Any works would need to be constructed offline to minimise disruption. Probably would try to realign to the west of existing Lincoln line as span needed over Trent is less.Got to provide sufficient clearance over ECML so probably need to start the approach embankments suitably far away, probably from the other side of the Trent. This would need a new bridge over the Trent to carry Lincoln line, likely needing a truss bridge to minimise below deck thickness. Then need a new half through bridge over ECML, construct substructure outside NR land then lift or launch superstructure over weekend possession.Running into 8 figure cost so can’t imagine cost will provide sufficient benefit.
What is the most beautiful plane, and why is it the MD-11 with Fedex livery?
>>1494525The regular 195 is cool as well, especially with the original wheel housings, but I think the triple tailfins on the floatplane have it beat.
>>1483980The open cockpit He 112 prototypes were the most beautiful planes ever made.30s planes in general are pretty gorgeous.
>>1484803 Some of the best thrust to weight ratios of any airliner. Real performer for a narrowbody and universally loved by aircrew that have flown it. How is that boring?
>>1485275An elegant weapon, of a more civilized age
Is this the right plan, /n/?
The third runway is deader than dead.
>>1494440Transatlantic flights use London as a hub for the entire Europe. This leads to concentration in a single airport, because everybody wants to offer the most possibilities of connection, specially medium sized companies (south and central america).
>>1494427>Are they closing the channel tunnel because of brexitWhy people do such uneducated comments about things they don't understand?Do anybody understands how the tunnel works, why Eurostar and Eurotunnel are the only companies who operate though it (DB tries but gave up), why the Class 373 was the only passenger train allowed though the tunnel for 10 years since the CTRL opened, why the Class 374 is a single long unit instead of two coupled units like everywhere in Europe, why Eurostar trains have lots of destinations going into Europe but trains toward the UK only depart from Gare Du Nord, Lille Europe or Brussels international?tldr: the UK never was into the free immigration thing. The brexit changes almost nothing for the eurotunnel.
>>1494454What's your native language, anon? You can barely speak English.
>>1494622Exactly: UK has visa free travel within the EU, but always had border control. It's never been in Schengen.The issue has been with Northern Ireland and Eire who currently don't have border control but this would need to be put in place as Eire is within the EU.
