      @@NotDaender no there was this skit in a childhood show of mine called "I love toy trains", where a lashup of D&H SD45's driven by someone called "buster" would cause general havoc on the layout. these hijinks would usually consist of slamming into the engine shed at high speed.

    The Lionel Thomas had to be re-done at some point because the chassis is absolute GARBAGE. It's all plastic so the screw posts can snap easily and only the rear wheel is geared so it's kind of crap at going at low speeds.
    Was it always like that?

  • @asteroidrules
    @asteroidrules 8 місяців тому

    I kinda like the Halloween stuff. There's a narrow gauge railroad in Flint Michigan that decorates its train for Halloween so the idea of a Halloween themed train never seemed that absurd to me. Also in last year's catalog the "Transylvania Railroad" parody of the Pennsy was clever.
