Steam Locomotives and Such.

Better than flamers!

This is true. But foamers? Trains don't make foam. Why wouldn't hotheads or foggy doggies or choochers work?

Lets just not associate with that group and call ourselves enthusiasts. Faking foamers...

 

[ajschainsaws]

Yeah over here they are called train spotters , anoraks , per chunkers

Chainsaw enthusiasts raise more eyebrows than train enthusiasts. About the same as people that collect human skulls and barbed wire.

On another note, the Brit's were really masters at the paint jobs they put on those old steam locos and the carriages they pulled.

Unfortunately for me I'm guessing I'm the oldest guy on this thread and maybe all the others. I doubt any of you remember this series but I watched it. It aired in the US, Canada, Britain and Australia.

It's never came back in reruns so I'm guessing it didn't age well.

Chesapeake & Ohio mainline at Ronceverte, WV.

Was a beautiful morning today!

I was kind half watching Museum Secrets yesterday and this critter popped up. I had never heard of it before.

Not steam but pretty neat. The Black Beetle

This one is well worth the watch. Quite a few odd steam loco designs.

Watching these magnificent beasts in action had me thinking. So maybe to get more of these things back in action why not pack the tenders with electric motors then just have a big enough boiler to blow the whistle. I think it would be a very cost effective way of doing things. Kind of get your cake and eat it too thing.

Yeah that’s a great idea , Iam sure it could be done they’ve made a stihl lighter
Than a husky so hey this should be a walk in the park

Don’t know what the “ Real Hard Core Foamers “ will think though
