[QUOTE=nynor;5572223]does anyone else here think that pictures of dudes with their wee locomotives are silly? or perhaps i should just come out and say what i mean: these guys with their little trains are ridiculous. IMO, of course.
it's a pretty high-dollar hobby...my dad used to build live-steam locomotives and scale diesel-electrics. they were in 1" scale (meaning... the track steel is one inch wide.) The locomotives were about 6-7 feet long! guys would pay BIG bucks to buy one of my dad's locomotives. obligatory pic... http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1285032659.jpg |
dude, i know it is high dollar. that only adds to the silliness.

No, he meant MG, as in Morris Garages. The car is a special one off, probably built for bonneville or le mans
But, yeah it might have some magnesium content too :D |
