How about a full-size train wreck display for your front yard?

Wouldn't it be a hoot to execute something like this quietly in the middle of the night?.....

So the neighbors would wake up to it!!!!

Now this mate had a sense of humor I can identify with!!!

I would love to have that! It would go great with the rest of my railroadiana collection.

Can you turn the  headlight on at night?

Does the Air Horn still work? 

I could see it being used to signal the time during the day, like always at 5:00pm or better yet at 8:00AM!!!!!!

I have some large pieces from and SD9 that I bought from a scrapped DME engine that I used to decorate my kid's bedroom.  One piece was the rear nose, and the other was the section from below the cab window with the engine number.  My original idea was to have them torch off an entire side of the cab and then mount that to the bedroom wall, but my wife nixed it.

Perhaps even connect it to the doorbell button next to the front door.  

I love this guy, btw.

How about a train wreck in front of some government buildings!

I'll check with my HOA and get back to you.

Well, it's already a train wreck on the insides........

Talk about bringing down home values in the neighborhood. While it is neat looking, would want that anywhere near my house. Yeah I'm no fun.

It looks very tastefully done.  I wouldn't object at all...

Looks like it is in a commercial district, not a residential area. I think it is way cool. And there is a second nose for decorating another building. At least he didn't cut up a War Bonnet or an Espee Black Widow.

Wonder how he decorates for Christmas?

Don't think there were too many of those Down Under...

It would never get past my town's zoning board.

You do know that that is just paint right? Doyle has painted a war bonnet PA into a Nickle Plate engine but he is restoring this to run. If this guy wanted to he could paint it whatever he wanted. 

Has it been visited by Gomez Addams?

Cool..........
