I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said, "... I drank what?"

And, some Dr. Seuss thrown in for good measure.

| That was absolutely awesome! What is it and where did you find it? Is it a trailer for something longer? Go Red Team!

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.

Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?

You know, this is what a lot of people used to use athearn hustlers for after someone realized that that rubberband drive's jackrabbit starts might actually be good for something. When I was little some guy gave me my first hustler and told me it used to be a racing engine, I read something about racing them a couple years back so maybe he wasn't kidding 
Also: 1:34 - what? no stokers in a racing engine?

That was one of the strangest things I have ever seen.

"A lot of modellers out there who go to these train shows see broken HO stuff and go, 'This is useless' when, in reality, they can still be used for modeling whether it's as a prop on your layout or a cool project to make something old new again."

Cool to look at but crazy to go down there in the cold water.
Probably will be there for a long time.

Cool views of the freight trains leaving a tunnel.
Crazy action of a pedestrian walking through the tunnel as a train passes.
Could have been another train passing through at the same time.

Amazing what performers would do back in the day.
Probably the videos were speeded up to show close calls.

There's the scene where Fatty Arbuckle grabs the caboose grab iron and swings up onto the step. That curved grab iron is designed to do that. If you grab it, it almost automatically swings you up there. It also gives your arm a pretty good yank. It did for me, anyway, and I don't weigh nearly what Arbuckle weighed. He must have had good tendons in his shoulder.
