Rank ass amateurs, I don’t need alcohol to attain my ultimate form.

@Dirty D is telling the truth here.

What folks don’t know is that as a teenager working In a secret DARPA lab, Dirty-D was bitten by an alcoholic spider, giving him superpowers that are always there, but often well-disguised under the cloak of a mild mannered snipery guy.

You just don’t want to know where he shoots his webs from....

Thats a lotta leaf spring. What the length and thickness of the top in the stack?
Just a guess but about 36 inches or a bit more? Rr wheels look about 20-24” in diam.

They are big.

And thick!

Locomotive weighs 200,000 pounds. A
Bit more than a Ram. 3500.

That is awesome! There’s a huge locomotive in the Henry Ford Museum also. It turns out the he was a fan of locomotives.

My brother volunteers a week or two every year to keep this historic train running. It is s beautiful ride through some amazing terrain and history:


The tours are touristy but spartan and the trip is worth it for the beauty and history this rail has to offer.

The Alaskan railway isn’t bad either.
 
They did piss me off but OTOH I did look good in that pink blouse.

Hate to inform you, but the audio is fake.
