The last one is particularly gruesome.

That was odd.

At least they didn't wreck any good equipment.

Wants: 1. high-quality, sound equipped, SD40-2s, C636s, C30-7s, and F-units in BN. As for ones that don't cost an arm and a leg, that's out of the question....

2. An end to the limited-production and other crap that makes models harder to get and more expensive.

How many times does this video link have to be posted here, anyway? This is AT LEAST the fifth time of which I am aware.

Sorry.

I'd not seen it, and I checked back about 8 pages. But then again, I've not been on of late very much.

The kid looks a little like Pugsley from the old Addams Family TV show.

   I'm glad you you posted it as I had not seen either! I was just thinking the other day about 'ol Gomez Addams and his blowing up his trains and wondered if anyone had ever recreated his destruction on their layouts? I'm considering doing it with some old HO stuff But I KNOW my wife would have a fit, something about setting a bad example for our kids!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone else up for it???????

        I agree that kid did resemble Pugsly.........

I heard about that one on "Great Train Disasters" on the Discovery Channel some years ago.
