How to Make your Car more like a Locomotive (Humor)

Hello,
For those of you who can't get enough of trains, here are some tips to make your car more like a locomotive. Please chime in on this with your own ideas [:)]! (Sort of like a you might be a railfan if...).

1.) You paint all controls in the car red, except for the AC which is yellow.
2.) You replace your steering wheel with a handbrake wheel (DON'T do this--it would be pretty bad on your face if you hit it in a collision)
3.) You fly green or white flags on top of the windows on each side.
4.) You throw fusees out your back window in traffic.
5.) You put a light on top of the roof to have a headlight and ditch lights.
6.) You put your elbow on the window sill and wave to kids.
7.) You put in a steam generator and booster.
8.) Your train has numberoards and you call signals.
