Not only that, but Evil Kneivel is about to jump that bus off that overpass over soda can canyon... BACKWARDS!!!! He very well may break every plastic bone in his little body... again.

With real estate for the model railroad at a premium in our house, I am forced to come up with new places for my trains. I can't figure out why things keep rusting though, and the electricty doesn't work too well either. Also, when I turn things on, all the fish go belly up! What's up with that? Boy, I'm gonna have a heck of a time applying and gluing the ballast.

Allright, I'll bite. Since the contest rules allow two entries for this month, here's my second entry.
This is one of them cab forward stiesels you don't see around too often! It's a 4-8-2 that was converted to burn oil.
Note: No engines were harmed for the creation of this picture.

TrainNut, that's ingenious! I'd think most of your locos would have to be U Boats though.

Well yeah, according to the rules, you can post two different entries, so here's my second one:

CNWman · 08-13-2007, 03:52 PM

It's gonna take more than giant alien robots to stop this frieght (there are actualy 2 robots in this pic, the gray one is clinging onto the cab)

**TrainNut** · 08-13-2007, 03:54 PM

I'm gettin' worried now. If the amount of comments I've received on my steisel are going to reflect the number of votes, I guess I can consider this attempt a graceful crash n burn!

We shall see.

HOtrainman · 08-13-2007, 04:28 PM

Don, that scene is screwed up. I like everybodys' photos by the way

**ezdays** · 08-13-2007, 04:55 PM

No, no, it's not screwed up,
....it's just a twist of fate.
