Well if it crashes does that make it “Bush’s fault”?

It is such as these and the men who built and operated them that made much of this nation.

The George H. W. Bush locomotive was a nicely done project that honored a guy who did not deserve it, IMHO. He served in WWII, survived being shot down and got back in the saddle. That is admirable. My hometown was full of men that did as much or more, and the most they got was a small rectangular plaque on their gravesite.
The Lincoln locomotive is also nicely done, and I consider the dark trucks and underframe to be more tasteful.
To: Red Badger
To me, those are amazing works of engineering. And just plain pretty too.

I go to Cheyenne sometimes and take the tour. They’ve got several locos in storage and the repair shop is full.

Got to see it hot last time it was in CO. Well over 1,000,000 lbs. Drive wheels 68” diameter.

I have a copy of Big Boy in N scale on my dining room table.
It’s about 1 1/2 inches tall. The Daylight, SP 4449 is another favorite.
