[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by tangerine-jack I have the opportunity of seeing Norfolk Southern coal drags daily, usually at peak traffic hours and most often with 3 or 4 high end diesels pulling 200+ coal cars, Awesome to behold? yes, massive horse power?without a doubt as the earth literaly shakes with the might of Fortune 500, and yes even fully loaded the acceleration is unbelievable, but I'm bored with it. I like what I can't get to see every day, character (or is it caricature?)! I'm sure that Thomas is more than capable of pulling one or two cars for his friends, but what would be his hurry? He lives in the UK and can only go so far before ending up in the ocean, and besides, it's probably raining and gloomy anyway. Not to mention his lack of any real traction from all the years of oil spewing onto the rails from his fine Old World crafted components, not that he could see anyway as his Lucas headlight is burned out or shorted. What would he do when he got to his destination, eat fine world famous British cuisine? Most likely he would end up in the Villiage being asked for information as his board number was changed to #6. That enough controversy? Come on, I'm on a roll! Bring it on![oX)] [/quote] Since I have never ventured to Brittania would some one of knowledge please let me know, is Thomas the Tank Engine an fair picture of British Railroading? What is the main difference in these "old world" technologies and those operation in America?
