General Discussion / bachmann em-1
December 25, 2011, 05:14:55 PM
Holy cow the new em-1 is a smooth runner. When I saw it I almost drooled all over it. I tested it on 18" radius ,guess what, no derails! But it does not look right on 18" so I do think 22" is the best radius to run it on. Over all ,I completely give it ,on a scale from 1 to 10 ,I give it an 11 1/2 stars.

General Discussion / Old 97
September 26, 2011, 09:25:16 PM
The wreck of the old 97s anaversery is tomorow. It inspired a famous song.

THE WRECK OF THE OLD 97

They gave him his orders at Monroe, Virginia,
Saying, "Stevie, you're way behind time.
This is not 38, but it's Old 97,
You must put her into Spencer on time."

He looked 'round and said to his black greasy fireman,
"Just shovel in a little more coal,
And when I cross that old White Oak Mountain
You can just watch Old 97 roll."

It's a mighty rough road from Lynchburg to Danville,
And the lie was a three-mile grade,
It was on that grade that he lost his air brakes,
And you see what a jump that she made.

He was going down the grade making 90 miles an hour,
When his whistle began to scream,
He was found in that wreck with his hand on the throttle,
He was scalded to death by the steam.

Now, ladies, you must take warning,
From this time now and on.
Never speak harsh words to your true loving husband.
He may leave you and never return.

don't forget to mourn,on september 27, the famous train wreck that inspired the ballad:
The Wreck of the old 97

Saying, "Stevie, you're way behind time.
This is not 38, but it's Old 97,
