I dropped this on its nose while getting it out of a storage box. Someone should be more careful.

John,
The model you mean? That's a real one that's hit something......just hard enough to remove the hand rail, but the nose toilet door too? That's an interesting wreck.....NO dents otherwise....

Probably a bird strike. Some kind of large bird like a Flying Raptor, or one of the flying elephants. You know related to Dumbo. They can do a lot of damage even with their do-do.

The engine was on a siding outside of Midland TX. The only other damage was to the side of both trucks. I was thinking about running for president, and was just practicing. So what difference does it make?
Regards, John

Birdie birdie in the sky,
Why'd you drop that in my eye?
I'm a big boy; I don't cry.
I'm just glad that cows don't fly.

Both truck sides? I'd think they ran it through a wall, then. That IS a big storage box....
