SAVOIR FAIRE: I'd worry in Necktie's place, lieutenant can get quite creative with a piece of fabric~
I have seen several cases where people were mixing Electrochemistry and Horrific Necktie and tbf they're pretty easy to mix, but there is a slight difference: EC is your pleasure center which wants you to feel good no matter the source, while Necktie is your imaginary drinking buddy who want's you to party hard like young people do (by getting drunk/hight, sleeping with younger women and doing stupid shit for lulz).
So I'm pretty sure our *bratan* won't be Kim's biggest fan (and vice versa), EC on the other hand…

Nicht schon wieder, seufze ich leise, als die Typen um die Ecke biegen. Jede Woche das gleiche Spiel: Ich muss ihren BMW putzen, und sie beobachten mich wie Adler ihre Beute.
Jeder Wassertropfen, jedes Staubkorn wird registriert, und wehe, es bleibt ein Fleck. Dann werden sie gemein und laut. Sie brüllen mich an und schubsen mich, so dass ich hinfalle.
Letzte Woche fanden sie einen kleinen Kratzer, kaum zu sehen, aber für sie ein Grund, die Hölle loszulassen. Ihr könnt euch nicht vorstellen, was sie gemacht haben.
Ich atme tief durch, nehme den Schwamm und tauche ihn ins Wasser. Noch eine Runde, noch ein Mal Perfektion vortäuschen, in der Hoffnung, dass es dieses Mal ohne Zwischenfälle abläuft.
Heute haben sie mich richtig gelobt. Sie meinten, dass ich gute Arbeit gleistet hätte und sie eine Überraschung für mich hätten.
Könnt Ihr euch vorstellen, welche Überraschung sie mir gaben?

Unusual Model Train Sets
A long time ago in 2020, I did a thread on Twitter of unusual model train sets. Mainly to showcase some that don't seem real, but are/were. Here's a selection of such trains.
I pity the fool who doesn't have this set.
It's more than meats the eye.
Our secret weapon in defeating Cobra.
I don't see a correlation between Rambo and trains to warrant this set.
Of course. When I think of a hit comedy show about medical personnel during the Korean War, I think a train set would make sense given the context.
(Friend of mine said the following:
Though my point still stands just from the episodes I've seen.)
This has the best '80s aesthetic I've seen for a train set.
As someone who launched Hot Wheel cars in front or over trains, I legit think this concept is fun.
Speaking of Hot Wheels...
As someone who still has this set, I can tell you that while it's fun, it's not compatible with HO tracks. A real bummer if you ask me.
I have a soft spot for train sets based on tractor brands (I have relatives who live in Eastern Washington who collect old tractors). The only unusual thing I could find is when they are a passenger set.
Which makes no sense considering what the IP is.
I don't see the connection between auto parts and trains, but the Photoshopped image on the box is cool.
Again, don't see much of a connection, in this case of NASCAR sets. However, if your train is taking a left hand turn every time it goes around the track then it makes sense (I guess).
And that is the list of unusual train sets I could find for this post. This is not meant to say they're dumb. I actually find sets like these quite entertaining and fascinating, particularly the TYCO sets of Rambo, GI Joe, A-Team, and Transformers just for how niché they were. And these came out around the time Shining Time Station premiered.
If you know any others, please reblog with the train set that you find unusual or barely has any connection to trains.
