That was SOOOOO much better than the Super Bowl that my wife is watching right now! That really takes a sick, twisted mind to make......and enjoy. Thanks for the heads-up on this one!

Good Luck, Morpar

I tried it, and it doesn't work. It said it is gone due to bandwith restrictions.

Does anybody have it saved?

Hi guys- I contacted the person who made the video, and got a reply.

He said that Apple must have removed it, so he re-mastered it, and put it on YouTube. Just put in World's Scarriest Model Train Wrecks, or go here....<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rC8VzVmNPOI>

Red Pullman! Laugh [(-D] I think I've seen him at train shows.

Thanks for helping to increase awareness of this sort of thing. Silence is our biggest enemy.

But destroying that Model Power 0-4-0 was a public service. Mischief [:-,]

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).

Thanks again to everyone. I'm so glad to find people who enjoyed it. Now that I won't be exceeding my bandwidth at Apple any longer, please feel free to send out the link to others who might also appreciate it.

Cheers,

John
