    I saw it the first day of the post...before there where any replies. It was already @ 89.xx. So maybe he caught it himself.

    Did you see that he also has this gem????? Makes that dummy locomotive look good!

    It looks like there's a Bachmann 4-8-4 cab roof glued on the short nose, with some kind of a headlight on it, and then it was given to the dog as a chew toy.

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bachmann-n-...7&pid=100005&rk=1&rkt=6&sd=261895388530&rt=nc

    And yet inexplicably, the fan interiors are carefully painted black, and there's something that looks like a winterization hatch....near the circular air horns.

    "appears that it may have been re-painted.", yeah, that'll buff right out with a little acetone.

    The more I look at that one the funnier it gets. I mean... look at the bottom view, and you can see that the trucks are so far back from the end that the Rapido coupler is actually inside the sill. And there's some kind of a scale-sized dummy coupler on another end sill, carefully mounted... And there's a FIGURE, glued on the front 'deck' (patio?) looking forward, as even more attention to fine detail.

    It's that mystical combination of sheer lunacy and fine detail, mixed with apocalyptic collateral damage that draws me to this one. A nomination to this thread's hall of fame is in order.

    I'm tellin' ya, 400+ pages, and I'm still absolutely dumbfounded checking this thread every once in a while.

    I believe that most folks enduring a bad acid trip could create something better than this monstrosity. Good grief. Eyuck doesn't describe it well enough.

    As randgust said, it was given to the dog as a chew toy...............then retrieved a couple of days later after the dog swallowed it. I bet that poor dog shook something fierce!

    Ebay ought to pull the offering and the person should be charged with cruelty to animals!
