Everything was fine...

until a bug got into the gears and used them to build a giant steam-powered bug robot..

Thanks Brian I think we all like old steam trains when we did proper engineering

Great mojo Buggy, love the trains. I had a friend who had a huge train room full of track-with a track running up high,one on a table & one down low, I always thought it was awesome how they would blow steam!

I never outgrew my trains. I had Lionel O guague. My dad made a train table for me out of two 4x8 sheets of plywood in an L shape. I had a 2026 steamer locomotive that smoked and a Navy switcher. My trains ran through high school and art school. I sold my sets when he died at the big rummage sale. At age 45 or so I spent about 1000$ to replace my memories. I have a train room upstairs with lots of locos and two track layout on an L shaped layout. I hate when my trains crash.

Cool, Buggy.  I didn't know what shunter meant.  A switch engine we call it where I grew up.  My dad was a Union Pacific Rail Road switch man in the big rail yards in Council Bluffs, Iowa.  Trains would come in and he and the crew would sort and switch them off to side tracks to make up new trains for new destinations.  I got to ride on the last steam shunter/switch engine in the train yard circa 1957.  I remember it pretty well for being seven at the time.
