A Different Photo Of The Week

How do you guys come up with this stuff?!?!

[bow][bow]

Very creative!!

Wow, GM. That is a good idea, with some outstanding results! Man, I tell ya. The things you can learn on here!! [:P]

railroadyoshi,
it was a freight that rear ended another and launched the loco i though it was a very cool shot

grande man,
awesome love the detail

Grande:
That has to be the cruelest “outing” of a fellow modeller. Watch your back, cjcrescent is packing a digital waiting to capture a faux paux with you involved. Pay backs are H***!
We may be onto a new trend here, documenting and enshrining our disasters…where are my 2000 and 2004 ballots?

great call overdurff thats why i figured we would see the good and the destructive side of railroading for the sake of a good laugh

Thanks, I needed the laugh this morning.[:D]

digital,
every one in their train life will have misfourtunes i think they are funny to see and i know people get a laugh out of them to

I have no doubt CJ would return the favor if given the chance. I’ll watch my six.

It probably is only funny to me, an inside joke, just like that video I made a couple years back. No script, no plan, me doing narration, filming, and running a train. It took an hour of film, about two hours of real time, to get out of the yard, and half an hour to go 300m! Every time I watch it, I crack up completely. Me singing ‘you are so beautiful’ to a Kato SD90, it’s priceless!

I don’t want to claim any right to this set of pictures but found this while researching ballast. It’s a link to a page with a model passenger train wreck

http://rrscenery.com/wreck.html

absolutely awesome page thurman laughed my a$$ off

come on no one else has some good pics

here’s a picture of a train wreck I took while visiting the chattanooga model railroaders layout. It is housed inside the chattanooga choo choo hotel. If you get a chance to see it, It is a nice layout.

Is that a model train wreck, nharrison21

On my module, im gonna add in in a half buried tank car, the maening being, is that sometimes when there is a wreck they will just bury the debris, including a whole train car.

well i had a hell of a wreck last night, just to test my new layout and the locos i put every car i had on the track up to the point where the caboose was mearly 3 inches from the loco, now my set up isnt small is a full peice of ply wood so that should set the scenerio so im running the train at a pretty good speed and my daughter need her diaper changed so i leave the train runnin…big mistake. in the midst of changin her i look over just to see a passanger train jump the track and start to get pulled down the track toward the tunnel… well the car met the tunnel and disconected and all hell broke loose… my 4 engine setup the commenced ramming cars and trees and building and amything in the way out of the wayrougly 30 sec after it started the final engine derailed…talk about a hohocaust in the trian world took me 3 hrs to reset every thing. Morale of the story screw the diaper save the train…

Holy Crap [:0] [:)][:)]

nom more good pics out there

So lets see here 2 Amtrack crashes in the same day:

BLACKWELL, Mo. - An Amtrak train carrying 78 passengers and 12 crew members derailed in eastern Missouri, but no major injuries were reported, officials said.

WATERFORD, Conn. - A high-speed Amtrak Acela train plowed into a car at a crossing Wednesday, killing a woman and her 8-year-old grandson and causing major delays along the Boston-to-Washington corridor.

Not a good day for Amtrak
