Anyone Else Fascinated By Old Locomotives?

[OL Yeller]

I think those rear axles should be another 20' aft, or they could have left the original wheels on it and towed it out in the country.

Besides the side car... without the car?!? Does anyone know why there is a narrow rail section tapering out in the center of the main run? (Oh, yes there will be a prize.)

I think it is a"derail" to stop the train from slamming into, in this case, a tunnel or off a bridge or perhaps a drive thru line if it came off the rails.

I think you are correct Murray. By design it would keep a train from derailing to the point where it would totally derail.

Murray gets the prize. It will be awarded as soon as we find it.

Ha ha.. point taken Rruuff

 

[OL Yeller]

Its a corvette and a corvair and a big red arrow pointing...nowhere?!?

The arrow is saying...This guy is still parked in the intersection.

 

[Rruuff Day]

The arrow is actually saying "This is a 1960 Corvair. It will be worth way more than the $1600 you paid for it someday."
