Oops, you say. I have had the occasional derailment caused by some idiot failing in his turnout duties. However, this is the one and only real wreck I have ever had, caused by my sister waving her arms around as she was flappin her gums. You can see the rear of the train way back in the corner of the room, where the guys in the caboose are wondering what has happened.

SeeYou190 OK... It is Sunday... Show me a Church... -Kevin
I've been away from these forums for a number of reasons and I know I'm late responding to this request but here is my favorite church kit.
This is a Kibri kit and I've always been curious as to why the steeples are in the rear. Every Catholic church I am aware of has the steeples at the front. The photo on the box is taken from the rear to make it look like the steeples are in the front.
Kibri - Roman Catholic Church - Kit - 12-1/4 x 7-1/2 x 14-1/8" 31 x 19 x 36cm - 405-39760 (walthers.com)
After I assembled it, I realized it wouldn't have taken much modification to put the steeples in the front but with the glue already set, I didn't want to risk ruining it by taking it apart.
The current request is for highway vehicles on flat cars so let's stay with that one.
