I do believe there's a Lion on the loose.

The "Find the Lion" game, that one was fun!

Pipe load started coming loose and did start to derail the gondola, and that's when the wreck was staged.

Show me a car accident.

I guess nobody likes water so it’s time for a bump.  How about a crazy locomotive restore/remoter for a starter.
 
 
 
 
This is a dual Canon EN22 Rivarossi Cab Forward.  The Rivarossi frame was cracked so I made a frame from K&S brass and installed two Canon can motors and a sound decoder in the tender.
 
Show me another locomotive re-motor.

Well, I didn't replace the motor but I had to make up new drive shafts for this Overland C. U. T. P1a electric. The ball ends were split.

While I was at it I installed a Soundtraxx Econammi heavy electric sound decoder.

Show me passengers waiting for a train.

The Coastal Daylight is just pulling into Susanville Station, the people are either passengers waiting to leave or waiting for passengers getting off the train.
