I moved another mankiller…this time it just rolled with the help of a 4 ft steel tankers bar and a pivot point…tricking it to stand on its end was not quite so easy…

Bart,

Isn’t it time for you to tear down and start over?

Just askin…

Ducks and runs for cover…

:slight_smile:

I did that over the weekend…twice… Seriously though…I think this oen is safe…in the past I never progressed really to a operational railroad…and time and money conspired to a point that I got a ‘Better’ idea before I could… I do believe I have passed the point of no return on this one…(at one point this spring an idea of moving again was brought up I decided that if I did, that would be an end to the railroad I’m too old to start over…I want to see it finished…)…more trackage, locomotives and rolling stock than I have ever possessed before and stockpiles of munitions to continue feeding the need for some time to come…

See my avatar now? I got to sit in a John Deer. Saw the price tag, and my girl said keep dreamin’…

Looks like I’ll keep tumblin’ rocks for a while.

Bart, you see that rock, the third one up on the left? It sticks out too far into the pond. I think that you should pull it back a few inches, and rotate it to the right about 15 degrees.

Just my 2 cents.

Sent from my bunker in an undisclosed location…

:slight_smile:

Really, it looks great. Well done, my friend.

That’s hilarious!!

Wait, is it safe?? I wouldn’t make that guy mad if he’s workin’ out with those BFRs. Maybe he’s got a catapult.
