I don’t know whether anyone here has seen this, but it is new to me. Funny.

I didn’t see anything wrong with that. It reminds me a lot of my railroad toward the end of the season.

Oh that is seriously asking to be modeled. I was having trouble playing it all but I love the train going over the log.

That is a classic silent film starring Buster Keaton. I can’t remember the name but it was clever and funny.

“Our Hospitality” is the title, also Keaton loaned the train to his pal Fatty Arbuckle’s studio to make a short called "The Iron Mule’ which is even crazier and funnier than this! It’s very worth seeking out.

I love the brooms that sweep the rails in front of the main driver. Now there’s a detail you don’t see on models. :slight_smile:
