There must be SOMETHING captivating to it. So far, 33,125 people have viewed it, 324 took the time to vote on it, and an astounding 152 people actually wasted more of their days precious time to type up some sort of comments !!! Simple things .....

That's the preproduction sample of the next MTH HO model. Comes complete with explosions for horn and the ability to derail on command.

The only two things about it that made me laugh were the combination of the red UP siderodded F unit and the bad music. This was worse than the Atlas trainman vids[(-D]

Was that layout completely freelanced, or was it Protolanced? The UP did own F-units, after all...

Dang.. I guess you hadda be stoned to laugh at that. About 30 years too late. I guess watching this is an easier way to kill brain cells than drinking.

This could be the start of the MR Annual Film Fest. Let's hold it in Calais after all Calais is a french name. Where comedy meets art where there's lots of that stuff that's spelled almost like art but smells like the content of this video.[:D]

I don't know why I watched, it had two things I'm not that fond of.......broccoli and UP. But at least the broccoli can be covered in cheese sauce![C=:-)]

You saw how the tracks were moving to the side? It eventually moved towards the broccoli and the train eventually hit it. I don't get why a train would "explode" when it derailed... if it even derailed, it looked like it just tapped it and went on and the guy probably made it derail.

Cooked broccoli smells like a fart.
If this video could smell it would smell like a fart too.

The train was derailed before it hit the broccoli, not fair! Also, the guy in the video was enjoying the whole thing just waaay too much. Weird model train.
