I'm still taking a break, but I happened to be going through my files, and I stumbled across a ruined train from a while ago that I forgot to post. It's not as good as my more recent ones, as I was using a worse software towards the start from what I use now. Anyways, I hope this will tide you over until my return.
Context: I’m not really in a good mental state right now, and I’m swamped with stuff to do. Ruining trains takes time, and each post takes roughly 1-2 hours for me. I’d like to take a break from posting for a few weeks, just until things calm down. I’ll still be around to comment and moderate. I appreciate each one of you here on r/Ruinsyourtrain, and I will hopefully be back refreshed with more content. Thank you!
Why does it actually look somewhat decent?
Hey everyone! Reddit really wants me to do a welcome post, so here goes:
I'm u/LateActuator6972. If you know who I am, it’s because most of my digital footprint is just terrible photoshops of trains.
This is our new home for all things related to whatever you want to call these. We're excited to have you join us!
What to Post
The title of the sub is somewhat misleading. Not everything on this sub is truly ruined. Some look pretty good. For instance, take a look at some of the incredible train anime girls. Other times, yes, the stuff on here is cursed. Also, for some reason, we seem to have attracted a few members of the roller coaster community. Don’t worry, roller coasters are trains, and are therefore subject to being ruined.
Community Vibe
We're all about being friendly, constructive, and inclusive. Let's build a space where everyone feels comfortable sharing and connecting. (Blah blah blah, be a decent human being, etc.)
How to Get Started
Thanks for being deranged in the best possible way! Together, let's make r/Ruinsyourtrain amazing.
The cap color doesn’t help it not look like gatorade.
I was looking through pictures of the DDA40X because I am currently working on doing something horrific to it, and I stumbled across this thing. On MTH forums, no less. Note that this image is not mine.
You read that right! We have user flairs now!
Options include:
Have fun! More flairs potentially coming soon, so let me know if I missed something important!
Also, I'm taking the opportunity to remind you all that time is running out to help pick a new profile picture for the subreddit! See the pinned post for details!
All jokes aside, this took me three hours. I think this is the most effort I've ever put into one of these, maybe excluding the graph one.
Also, it's hard to see, but I wanted to point it out: Both the lower set of drive rods AND the upper set of drive rods are linked to the drive wheels. Because screw you, that's why.
