whens lionel gonna make a 4-2-0 with a ships wheel as a throttle? lol
How about that streamlined whatever it is?
Here is another: Billion Dollar Limited, the third Fleischer Studio Technicolor Superman cartoon (1942)
I like Bulto's super rare 6-4-0 loco......so rare it changes to aa 4-4-0 and then back at will!!! Leave it to a modeler!!! Love those Max cartoons.
And then there is Porky's Railroad - superb Warner Brothers animation and humor [a fish impersonating Mae West] with Carl Stalling's background music played by the WB studio orchestra. Just brace yourself for the final scene.
Play Safe is another Fleischer Studio cartoon. Notice the early No. 1 Gauge 2-rail oval. A dream sequence was filmed with animation cels of a little boy placed on miniature sets to create a 3D effect.
how about an onion pacific big boy and a sudden pacific cab forward
I knew I had this somewhere in my trainroom - it was in the back of a shelf and I overlooked it when I first saw this nifty thread. It's WBB Baldwin ten wheeler bashed just a bit with a sound tender added and weathered - perhaps too much.
