Hmm... I can hardly wait
for critical posts to start
appearing...


Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.
"It works! It works!"

I'm waiting for someone to accuse me of photoshopping it.

If you look closely at the pixels, you can tell it's legit.

Well. Very good. I'm in. It will have to be asked if they're going to have an 8444 version. I have no issue in renumbering it myself, but I think 8444 was long enough back there may be some detail differences I have yet to research.

I'll be the first SPF to ask: What 'bout the K4!!! :Running Away:

In all seriousness, its nice to see some new steam on the market, even if it is for dirty class 2 railroad.  :trollface:

"....... a special articulated undercarriage on the unique 14 wheel Tender to allow the locomotive to negotiate tighter curves and S bends......"

 :facepalm:

Sorry.. the world doesn't revolve around 9 3/4" curves anymore.....

The rest of it sounds good! But I don't have a horse in the race...
