Here is a freight train that you can see the back of way off in the distance. This is the only major wreck I have ever had. It was caused by my sister waving her arms around explaining everything she knows about model railroading to our visiting relatives from England. 

I had to forgive her though as she has given me $1000s of dollars in PWRS gift certificates over the years.Laugh

Show me another wreck, please.
