Dumb Idea time! Tyco Turbo train

Ha! I wondered if Supertain might come up! I remember seeing that too and also remember thinking "that tunnel is too narrow!" in the opener.

At first glance that looked like a roach.  Wouldn't that be a fun thing for N trak shows? The faster the better.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Especially because it is painted "roach brown".   
That model is 1:25 scale so it would make a good rail-roach in larger scales.

Here we go.  Put this on a kato chassis and you're good.

Think of roaches, I wouldn't try these:

Yes, you really can buy a box of live roaches on the Internet.  Apparently some people have uses for them.

One time at a train show I saw a guy with a Honda Goldwing with a Turbo Train layout on the bike. He had built several small sections of scenery and the train went up and down around the bike. And yes, he ran it running down the road.

Wouldn't that qualify as "distracted driving" in most states?
