Fell for this one. I'm NOT going to make the same mistake with the other. I was expecting something useful for steam fans but...

You know, sometimes I feel like offering helpful advise, and sometimes I don't!

Well, well, well. I looked at diesel only to see if I could find something usefull. Guess not. So, being fond of STEAM I took the leap and sure enough there's nothing usefull here either. WTF mate. Is this a practical joke on all of us? My, my what have we come to. Guess I should have looked at the smiley face, huh?
Ain't it great!!!

hey i like steam stuff, i rode a pass. car pulled by a 2-6-2. and i gave serious thought about whether to model the transition era for steam to diesel or from first gen. diesel to second gen. diesel. The transition from first to second gen. diesels won because i had two SD40s and only one cheep bachman F9A.

K4s ROCK! But Baldwin Centipedes are pretty cool, too.

Heh. If some one ever gets a hold of a BLI K4 and tries to pull cars up hill with it (3%?) let me know how it did.

That K4 is amazing as being able to do the same job just as fast as those NYC Hudsons that are bigger and heavier. I never did understand it.

Are you guys getting on me about not providing useful information? If so, why don't you do the same to the other 90% of the posts on here which provide little/no value?!?

THEN...why perpetrate it? Show yourself to be above all that and write something to help the rest of us schleps out. [:)]

Tstage, I just wanted to have a little fun! But, you know what, a lot of you don't seem to know how to do that! If this was no fun for you I suggest in the future, you please don't waste your time reading my posts!

I find you condescending and self righteous attitude BORING!

This is pretty much NVA (non-value added), isn't it? To say nothing of the maturity level it shows.

Okay, here's something--just got a back issue of TRAINS today--Nov 1980, all about the Missabe Road and their articulateds. And the M-4 2-8-8-4 weighed MORE than Big Boy! So put that in your UP and smoke it.
