Nothing is more fairly distributed than common sense: no one thinks he needs more of it than he already has.

 Cool.  Or should I say steamy? I'd love to have a steam engine I could run on my Lionel 3 rail layout but no one makes any that can run on 3 rail.

Modeling the "Fargo Area Rapid Transit" in O scale 3 rail.

  That was awesome! I have always thought having  a car with a steam power theme would be great.Trunk full of coal with a stoker running to the front where the firebox and boiler would be under the hood ( yes I want this just so i can have a large steam whistle on my car lol)But I am surprised I havent seen some crazy tinkering person do it, yet!

Yes we are on time but this is yesterdays train
