World's Scariest Model Train Wrecks

[SteamFreak]

Hello -

I'm the guy who made that very silly film World's Scariest Model Train Wrecks.

I'm really flattered at the good response it's gotten. I've had trains "in my blood" since I was a kid. My uncle was John Marron, one of the early members of TCA, TTOS, etc. and had a legendary collection at his house in New York (now, sadly, auctioned off after his passing). I have a small collection myself (only a few pieces were props in the movie - most were cheap items I could buy new at a toy store).

Cheers,

John

Very funny film, John! Well done. Thank God you didn't investigate me as a kid. I once strapped bottle rockets to my Tyco flatcars to see how far they would go.

Not as far as you'd think, then BLAM!!

The powder burns weathered the track nicely, though.

LOL - not to mention your hands, your face, the wall, etc. Hmmm... maybe that's a trick I could use for a sequel!

Cheers,

John

I believe the person who posted it to Mac.com exceeded their bandwidth due to lots of downloads from people like us... heheh.
