Am I being sensitive, or does this make you as mad as me! grrrrrr!

 

 

I was looking for footage of the Sunrise Express and came across this, I guess some people just have more money than sense!

Does it remind you of the "Addams Family" train layout where Gomez used to blow-up the Lionel trains?

Yeah, that's about 300.00 USD or more of trains being wrecked. It is surprising when you see  how much work was put into the layout, maybe the modeler's child got into his train room and did this? (Who knows)

It just doesn't make sense to spend all that money just to wreck it.

I used to do that with my Lima H0 way back.. Interestingly enough, even though they were cheap and plastic, they were quite sturdy. Never managed to break one of them, except when one fell off the train table and down the attic stairs ;)

ROFLOL, that was exactly what I was thinking.

That's the result you get when muppets and model trains mix! :BangHead:. Having said that, when I was a child, my Lima HST 125 often became the victim of many derailments due to a disagreement with the family cat! :pain10:.

Oh yeah, I did simulate all sorts of rail crashes with my old Märklin toy railway when I was a kid! :cheesy But I wouldn't do this with any of my models today, of course.

About a year ago I was at a HS in NYC when a grandfather came in with a Minitrix HO steam engine. I took a peek and immediately knew this was an expensive train, a few hundred US dollars. It was all smashed up and broken. It was a train he had bought for his grandson and needed to see if it could be fixed or buy a replacement. You knew it was only going to be wrecked again, what a waste.
