[quote user="nbrodar"] <p>They're also handy for:<br />1.) Rerailing cars (yup, I've done it with a spike).<br />2.) A quick fix for a run-thru switch (umm...no comment).<br />3.) Removing EOT batteries (the spring loaded ejectors never seen to work right).<br />4.) Removing foreign objects from switch points (not a place you want to stick your fingers).<br />Nick<br />[/quote]<br />They are also handy for:<br />1.) DErailing cars (seen it happen).<br />2.) Breaking a spring switch (in the points).<br />3.) Throwing at train crews as they pass.<br />4.) BEING a foreign object in switch points (see #2).</p>
