GG1 but you can't see it

So, where’s Franklin?
Nova now has $0.15. Third nickle is my (currently under construction) Hanover, Rochester & Tidewater (HR&T) On30 traction layout. I’m looking forward to the Milwaukee Road and/or Pacific Extension episode(s). I’m a Minnesotan, and my hometown was on the Milwaukee Road, so I’m a fan. But, I’m also a Pennsy girl, and also have an affinity for the GG1. Justin, Liam, Nova, Victoria and Gareth did a phenomenal job with this episode and it ranks among my top 5 favorites.
I'm listening to Texas 2 City, but I can't find a link to comment on that one. Texas BBQ? Texas? TEXAS?!? Victoria, you are DEAD TO ME. Come to Kansas City and I will show you PROPER BBQ. 😜 -- Aurelia
Hi there, long time fan. I'm a amateur historian and media archivist specializing in the the September 11th attacks. I run a volunteer group that works directly with survivors to preserve and share their stories. I also run the community on reddit r/911archive and have worked as a guest researcher at the National September 11th museum and memorial. All that aside, Im curious if you folks plan on covering September 11th for the 25th anniversary this year. If you do I'd absolutely love to suggest or contribute to the idea of a "Oops all conspiracies" dedicated to exploring the the various conspiracies that involve the mechanics and physics of the collapses and the non-logical evidence they are based on. I suggest this because I have spent a long time cataloguing and debunking them and have many pieces of media and testimony that explains many of percieved 'oddities' such as explosions heard being accetelyne tanks on the underground lock ups exploding as well as the source of the lobby explosion seen in WTC 1 (no media only mechanical and engineering info) I also have along with my colleagues collecting the largest digital collection of WTC blueprints and plans. Far surpassing the minimal ammount used in the official investigation. There is tons of interesting anecdotes and actual peculiarities I think you fellas would love to hear. Such as the whole "built to withstand a plane impact" is a complete myth. The Hat Truss was not an initial design aspect and was implemented post construction. All the best -BTT
They already did one about the smaller tower fire that kinda covers it all
Why does my train good car bad shirt fit better after 9 months on estrogen??? DID THEY KNOW??????
Hi Folks. I kinda expected there to be a way to DM here. I'll be vague to avoid spoilers. You guys might want to do an episode on the USN's MK13/14 torpedoes of 1942/43. It is a hilarious saga of incompetence, bad engineering practices and bureaucratic obtuseness. But the reason I think you would like it is the involvement of Albert Einstein, who looked at the blueprints, said, "well there's your problem," and was promptly ignored by the good folks at the Bureau of Ordinance. Anyway, strong work as usual.
Pretty sure Lions Led by Donkeys did that one already.
There was actually a bill introduced in the House to designate the Army v. Navy football game as America's game.
I had never really thought much about the sounds made by electric trains until this episode... and I realised that the whining singing noises made by EMUs (90s Class 323s I think) were a huge part of my teenage years where a trip on the West Midlands Cross-City line usually meant a trip to visit a friend, or go to the cinema etc. A reminder of happier times.
1:50:00 Reguarding artic snow. Without checking the weather records for the incident pretty sure artic snow is referring to the light fluffy snow versus wet heavy. More technical would be low Snow Water Equivalent (SWE). Also could be related to the actual crystal structure being more sharp versus rounded, which translates to sharp = no, snowball round = good snowball. So the sharp low SWE snow is likely to get sucked up into the intake and block the heat exchanger is my guess. I won't get into speculating about vapor transport if it fell on an existing snowpack. That shit is way beyond my comprehension. Snow gets really complex when your trying to figure out if it will kill you while pleasuring yourself. As noted in recent events.

Also, thank you for making a podcast that is the same length of time it takes to shovel two feet of snow from my driveway.
Long time listener, first time caller. Love love love you. Another really fascinating episode. Would give anything to serendipitously cross paths to swap PA/NJ rail preservation war stories.
...goddamnit, I studied German in High School for the purposes of researching 20th century genocides and preventing their repetition in the future of my local political sphere, but that seems to be DOA and the best I can do with it now is trying to figure out how the fucking Quill drive works. Fuck me running.
Ok, looks like in the case of the GG1 force was transmitted mechanically by big arms hitting cups on the spokes, and the space between the quill shaft and the axle of the wheel was filled with a fuckton of grease in the style of a journal bearing. Other instances of the quill drive might transmit torque by the fluid motion of that grease like a really badly designed torque converter, but that's just speculation on my part. Might be wrong, I've been sleeping on my German and working on Esperanto lately.

I'm sad to report the train in Pearl Harbor was not a GG1 but that is apparently a common misconception
I do love that the actionable threats have been turned inwards on this episode
why is the patreon audio always so quiet? :( I can barely hear these episodes
Skill issue
Maybe you can't see it. I can. Seems to be a skill issue.
... for a brief second I thought it was about a stealthy train. Then the rest of my brain fired up and I realized it was the GG1 episode audio.
I find an audio podcast version that doesn't require hours of Youtube viewing to be indispensable x
*vague indistinct tape deck noises*
In case anyone else has the specific constellation of hyperfocuses I do, there's a MOC rebrickable design for the GG1
Thank you for releasing the audio only! I like to listen to these at the gym while lifting weights and it is very helpful to have them in a downloadable format. Kisses! -N

Thank you November for correct Wilkes-Barre pronunciation

Oh there's plenty in here. It's in called audio. Handy if you don't have YouTube.
Wher a re the slides??
Sorry, there doesn't appear to be anything in this post :p
Thank you!
Yesssss thank you!
