I'd just shift it into backwards. :laugh:

Somehow that makes backwards steam

I presume that causes the steam to be sucked back *into* the smokestack? ;-)

Fred, there are a few funny ones up here on the roads in and out of here. Next time we go out, I'll try and get some photos of them.

Like the title says- Just for Fun..... This has Nothing to do with Z but shows what can be done with your hot wire, once you have made all those Z mountains.

That's a 5 foot eagle made from 2" foam with a Hot Wire cutter

These are 3' and 4' replicas of the eagle on the stern of Constitution.

Thanks Terry- a pat on the back is always appreciated - I was just using up some of the spare foam I had hanging around. Cut out the basic shape on the band saw-- makes very fine dust that goes everywhere- and the rest is hot wire work. Really very simple.

Check out David K. Smith's World's smallest train layout on ZCS Videos.
AMAZING- it's going into a store window. 1:35,200!!
above foto--- If I had the time I would build a new hobby shop with rooftop train and have David build me a working train!

I think Garth refers to a picture of Dribbles (Dastardly Catasawrous) with a cab forward in his mouth on page one. Yes- the tender is on the wong end
Thanks for noticing.

For those building a lumber industry- I found this picture and thought it "wood" be fun to build this in Z. I like the "off the road" (TRACKS) aspect.
