I sometimes feel the same about Gunpla which also seems to come in (tidal) waves, but it's good to pick up new tips and techniques from different model/figure genres, and there's often that "wow" moment when someone shares something exceptional. Funny we barely see any crossover railway stuff.

I've learned more from Youtube about LEDs and circuits this weekend than in my years of schooling. But sometimes you need to ask someone, especially as my first ever project seems to be two series circuits in parallel, just for the challenge ๐Ÿคฃ

Anyone out there with some basic electronic skills? I'm aiming to illuminate a car model (tail lights and headlights) with 2x1.8V red LEDs and 2x3.0V white LEDs. Just to complicate things, I want to add a switch ๐Ÿ˜. The resistors are next level up from minimum. Does this look viable? #scalemodels

Sadly they cut that bit when it was on Sunday afternoon. Hopefully the later slot keeps the melty Nazis.

So many of these seem due to re-use in more recent songs, TV etc.
Don't Stop Believing will be almost entirely on the back the Sopranos and Glee. On release in 1981 it barely tickled the top 100 outside the USA.
Puff Daddy and Faith Evans certainly boosted the Police in the #1 spot. etc etc

Best bet in the UK might be a US base BX if you have the credentials or contacts. Amazon prices are silly, but you might get lucky in one of the "American Candy Store" organised crime places.

If my calculation is correct, on the same timescale the Great Patriotic War finished decisively and 53 days ago.
