Hi, new here, Dave from Reading, PA Back in the 70's or 80's there was a poster print of a train running off either an incomplete or failed bridge circa 1860-80's. A couple of gents standing around in long coats and stovepipe hats, and one muttering "Oh S*** " I wonder if this is still available anywhere, or if anyone could make a scan if they have one. I checked all the big poster shops at the Beach areas, and they think its out of print. This is not the Photograph of the Engine hitting the streets after crashing through the wall in France. That is available. This other one just always made me smile, great for the office or trainroom. Thanks for any feedback, Dave
Hmmm. Right now, all that comes into mind, are various cartoons I've seen over the decades. Don't believe I ever saw this one in particular. If there's any place you might turn one up, it's surely here on the Internet. Good luck! :thumbs_up: Boxcab E50
I think I know the poster your tatlking about. If I remember correctly, it was a through girder type bridge, with the train travelling from top left corner to bottom right corner, with the loco hanging over the end of the bridge into the water. I think it was a dig at the original Firth of Forth bridge. I stand to be corrected. I haven't seen the poster for quite awhile, but will keep an eye open for it.
Could that have been the Tay Bridge in 1879? I don't recall any bridge over the Firth of Forth having a problem.
How rude!!:angry: Talk about being picky. Figures, people from snobby Sugarland are like that as well as The Woodlands.
