Thought since there was no train activity everyone would enjoy something different.

Jerry-

Great selection of photos and videos. And thanks for the titles, explanations
and diagrams. I wouldn't have been able to understand everything I was
looking at without them.

Thanks for the link.  Saw some strange and interesting railroad things.

I think the main message I got was KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid!

Thanks for the link. Lots of very interesting trains in that link. I spent another 2 - 3 hours searching the Internet for more info on some of those. That's the problem with the Internet, one thing leads to another and another and another.... :)

I have to admit lots of smiling, pause clicks, and oh oh oh's, ala Arnold Horshack ;). A regular Mothers of Invention convention :D. The egg shaped boiler doors at about 6:45, these have got to have a nickname ???. If not pick one :o. Tombstones? Bathtubs? Bedpans? ;D

I know exactly what you mean. It's like reading the dictionary.

Nice compilation of the unusual.

Surprisingly enough, I have seen some very expensive brass models of many of those "never were" locomotives... unfortunately no Quintuplex (sp).   :)

Jerry,

That is a wonderful link!  There is something cryptozoological about these machines, and they hold the same fascination for me.

I have seen the first set of videos before; one day while poking around YouTube.  Those guys cracked me up!
