You can load sounds of different model trains into the decoders that go in them to make them drive and light up and make sound. The sounds follow what a real locomotive does, too, like the chuffs, turbocharger, or what have you.

Imagine loading a steam locomotive sound into a car

I like to preheat water for my electric stove in my electric kettle. So what if the microwave is also running? Ahh, the power of 230V.

I've seen them packed in 4s as well. 10 packs are common, and I've seen cartons of 15 as well. Dunno who determines that. I swear we had cartons of 12 too but I haven't seen any in a long while. Am I going crazy?

I keep them in the carton in the fridge anyway and my egg shelf has butter and cheese, so problem solved :p

I used to have a microwave that you could stop at 0 if you hit the right time. Before the finish beeps but still at 0. It was like a frame perfect press though, really hard to get.

Also at my work there's someone who likes to leave it at 0:01. When I come in in the morning and it displays that I don't know the time. Gr. Use the little red button kthx

I don't think my job is particularly inportant, but I'm definitely proud to do it. I work in repair at a small model train electronics producer. I fix the electronics for customers and also do a bit of customer support.

Unlike a lot of companies where you just get crappy outsourced call center support and if your thing's broken you just get a new one (with all your settings reset of course), my company actually fixes people's stuff. I love that I get to do that, and individually help people. It's also stimulating because customers manage the weirdest things sometimes, and I get to figure out what, why, and how.

I work in electronics repair, but occasionally I also have to deal with related calls (and emails). As much as I hate phone calls I'm glad I can offer the customers of the small firm I work at an actual person to speak to and actually solve their problems as opposed to this kind of slop machinery or even outsourced callcenters.
