Who is the Kidd?

Interesting. He’s a tagger.

Also here on Reddit from the “Kidd” himself. I hope he’s not a disgruntled ex-RFFer 🤣:

How he got his name (yes he was into analog photography ):

For realism today model railroaders simulating modern operations add weathering and graffiti to their freight cars.

I have O gauge trains (good size lay out) and "weatherizing" locomotives and rolling stock has been the rage for awhile. I tried it once and decided I have no skill -🙂. Model RR aren't for kids. Spending over $1k for just a locomotive stuffs get more expensive than even Leica's.

In retirement I plan to build an N scale (small) layout in my small apartment.
I can't imagine "decorating" such tiny items; my eyes are not so good anymore.

Fortunately I won't need to add graffiti to my freight cars; I will model the 1950's.
I don't think aerosol cans of spray paint were commonly available in those days.

So this is his "philosophy." Inane and narcissistic.
