KRM Kids chucking rocks at the Auto transport cars before they were in-closed. Kids sneaking into parked cabooses stealing the flares and what ever those things were you strapped over the rail that went "bang" and then the train would stop.. Kids placing long pieces of lath on the tracks to see them smack the train then a inspection car comes along. Kids pitching rocks at the block single. Kids getting busted by the RR cops. Nope I don't know anything about it. Kev.

Youve taken realism in model railroading to a new level..LOL. I
As a dumb kid, I once threw an M80 in a nice suburban fire pit built into a patio and with awed astonishment, fear and self loathing..watched the little logs still flaming or smoldering launch over the roof like they were launched from a medieval catapult..landing one by one in the front yard..still smoking. Ouch. At the same time a big source of fun was getting inside an oversized truck tire and taking turns rolling each other inside of it down the steep hills. Don't forget pennies on the track. After a train passed, a collective "wow..cool" could be heard.

Hey! We could put that nuclear plant between models of the American Flyer and Lionel factories and that's where my giant red-eyed mutant company presidents can slug it out!
