Hey! How about buying an F40 PH on Ebay? Not a Bachmann, but a real EMD!

Antonio, it'd be even better if it was an FP45!

I think I'd work out a deal with the local shortline to let me run it on the weekends![8)] Just be sure to keep it locked up at night. Yeah, get a cool little remote that when you lock it the horn goes honk honk like a car. But be careful not to hit the alarm button by mistake, otherwise that K5LA will go off!

You buy the F40 and put her in your back yard!

Five thugs walking by see it, hold a quick meeting and decide to break into the cab. Of course, they don't realize that the air tank is full and the K5 horn is rigged to go off like a car alarm!

They jump over the fence, break the lock and scurry inside. Sure enough, a few seconds after they're in the cab that horn starts-A-BLASTING!!!! What an attention getter! They cover up their ears and run out of the cab like roaches on fire! But they forget that THE FIRST STEP IS A LU-LU since the ground is 10 feet below!

Twenty minutes later, they're still laying on the ground, two ambulances are on the scene, the whole neighborhood is there, and just a few yards away are a group of cops laughing hysterically!


NICE STORY! LI LOVE IT! [:-,][tup][:-^][wow]

Thanks!

I often think of "What if?" scenarios. Being strange also helps!

"I like my Pullman Standards & Budds in Stainless Steel flavors, thank you!"
