I agree on the melt down car, Srenchin... I have never tried this in my adult life. I believe it would be fairly hard to get it to look good. I don't want to melt down any of my rail cars...

Imagine if the Rock Island actually did have cantenary, how many people would have accidentally been electrocuted from poorly maintained high voltage lines?
