If you worked for BNSF out here in SoCal ....not only would you get tinted windows, but chrome spinners on the wheels AND subwoofers to go back in the radiator section!

And dont forget the chromed chain reverser, diamond tuck upholstery, velvet headliner, and the fringe trim around the cab roof.
Oh, and we need some LED lights under the locomotive...the kind that fla***o the sound system!
Wonder if we can get Chip Foose to do it in seven days?

HAY you hit the nail right on the head. I've been telling a couple of my friends that I'd like to pimp out tConrail's Big blue SD80MAC with neon blue lights under the trucks (get rid of the ditch lights), and chrome exhaust, along with white leather seats in the cab (with big MAC or something engraved in the head rest, a stereo system in the cab w/ cd player that has a blue face plate, also got to have hydralics on the locomotive wait maybe I'll stick with phenmatics since there is a nice 4 cyl compressor in the rear. I think we also need a graphic design on the top of both winsheilds ( don't know what that will be), black carpeting on the floor. all that good stuff..................OH AND I've got to have spinners on the loco too. Man I would really be looking forward to going over a busy grade X-ing with that. I'll put the seat almost all the way back and look cool in my pimped out loco. lol

The hard part would be trying to swipe it and keep management in the dark!!

Wait a minute..... management's usually in the dark anyway......

And, for the steamers:
1. Forget your "Sweeney" stack, get a "swinger" stack
2. Spinner set of Walschearts Valve Gear
3. Chrome plated smokebox interior (useless ostentation at its finest)
4. When it comes to controls, purple and green are the new red!
5. Gold-plated safety chains around the engineer's neck
6. Replace headlight with searchlight (the light, not the signal), and install nuclear fission dynamo
7. If you think long enough, you'll understand painting the Rock Island's initials on the tenders
8. Replace equalizing hangers with "equalizing hang loosers"
9. Replace all pony trucks with "dawg" trucks
10. Un-counterbalance, to make added "impact," figuratively and literally
11. Hook up microphone to speakers, broadcasting whistle even louder than it already is
12. Replace builder's plate with vanity plate saying "LOCO 1"
13. Stretch locomotive into Beyer-Garret, and add side ditch lights
14. Put smoke machine under exhaust nozzle, and add feature to sand flues continuously
15. Install three more petticoat pipes, because to the layman it sounds "interesting"
16. Keep "equalizing reservoir" until you're number one, then throw it away
17. The Main Track is YOURS--who needs Rule 6.13?
18. Make it an oil burner, so you can have not one, but two "super heaters"
19. Tamper with safety valves because "You don't fear death"
20. Replace seat boxes with LaZ-Boy recliners
21. Cast and install trust plates in your own name

Sincerely,
Daniel Parks
