[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by masonjar To be avoided...! [;)] In the late 1800's there were a few examples of real railroads setting up collisions between old locos for the publicity and spectacle. It rarely worked out well... [:(] Do a google search, and I am sure you will turn up some photos. Andrew [/quote] Agreed. I seem to recall reading somewhere about an early silent film where this was done? Not a good idea! The worst collisions I have in model from are usually due to wrongly-set switches - the odd car ends up with wheels on the ballast, but no damage results. Having said that, I do have a Walthers Front-Runner car that has had to have the footsteps repaired a few times due to falling off the end of the tracks - these are very fragile vehicles!
