You're either a big fan of Elvis or there's something seriously wrong with you. Also, I actually think it looks kinda cool.

Ken, be sure to read the instructions... you can only lubricate those with bacon grease.

It's trains like all these that want to make my inner prototype-nazi renounce the hobby out of shame by association, curl up into a ball and die surrounded by superdetailed models.
Good thing I hardly ever really listen to him

I like the promotional sets as much as the next guy but the Elvis sets are really bad. I voted for something wrong with you.
Of course when I get the back story completed on my model/fantasy railroad y'all will probably think the same of me too....
