all u had was lame british crap

How incorrect. Hmm.

"all u had was lame british crap" was not only an incorrect statement, the subject of the statement is incorrect too.

For a start, both the Class 59 and Class 66 - the latter of which is the mainstay of EWS' fleet and has spread across Europe used under the monicker Series 66 - are both built Stateside.

So shut up - If I wanted 10,000hp to move two wagons, I'd get a pair of GP38-2s or Dash-9s or SD-40s or whatever it is you have over there. As it is, a Class 08 shunter does the job just as well. And for half the price.

ok you were right, corecting myself, all you had was lame crap from britan and sweeden, and those countrys, besides, i think the 3985, a chalenger 4-6-6-4 would beat a class 66 or 59, dont get me wrong, i HIGHLY respect trains from britan, but i prefer the big US articulets, and even if they are buit state side, they were made for BR RRs and are only BUIT here, all tho i saw what i think was a class 59 sitting at a metrolink yeard in calli once no joke

The 59 is a BEAST. Can probably do more than your rubbish anyway.

LMS Beyer-Garrats. A load of crud but still cool

lame british crap

Look at this Lame American 'cramp'

To be fair though it is from 1847.

[Born Acorn]

Is that a garden shed?

[SM9T8]

I think so, at first i also thought the large rear driving wheels were garden tables, but on closer inspection they're not flat.

[Dave]

It's America. Everything has to be ten times more something than it needs to be.

Britain, on the other hand, can't afford to have trains that hit 8,000hp. But then - we don't need them too...

When the 92s run through cities at full power, the lights dim... I don't see an NS or BNSF doing that s***.

Diggedy dig dig dig!

Right since Train-a-mania hasn't done anything about this competition I've decided to run it again. The rules are basically the same but if you could all post your pictures in the thread this time. Not sure how it'll be judged yet but anyway, here we go with my one first

Its not "blanked" out thats how it is on the picture, it just never showed up in the image possibly because of the angle or that it was already had faint text on the sign itself , or reflection of the sun perhaps?

The Sun is reflecting off it.

Here's mine, 92036 at Hest Bank on the WCML.

I've given this a lock on request, so the new competition can start off anew in a new thread. (Go see it!)
