Seeing as how today is April Fools Day, I thought it might be fun to take advantage of stretching the truth and telling the biggest lies we can think of about our trains to see who can tell the biggest and most outragious-but just for today... Since I'm the one that started this topic I'll be the one to pick the winner of the contest 24 hours after it's started as so to give everyone around the globe a chance to reply. My lie doesn't count, but I'm going to tell one anyway because I'm in a lying mood!. A while back, I just wasn't getting enough power out of my transformer and my trains were all running sluggish. So I decided to climb up on the utility pole and patch into the high voltage lines to see if a little added power might help. After I ran the lines, I went back down to my train room and flipped the switch. Suddenly, there was a flash of bright light and a great ka-boom!. What had happened was that the lone engine that was on the layout had shot through the wall of my shop, out across the pasture, killed three of my neighbors milk cows, went through the side of a Gray Hound bus out on the highway narrowly missing several passengers and landed in tact on the repair table of the hobby shop where I bought it 35 miles away. How I know this is that I always put my name and phone number on the belly of my engines and the guy from the hobby shop called and told me that's where it was. I told him to go ahead and tune it up a bit and I'd be by the next day to pick it up. No, really. Would I lie to you!?...
