Well I have! And check the styling of it. Subtle differences in comparison to British locos.

Plus there's the 'U S A' painted on the tender, and the image file being called somethingorother 'usa'.

Aaron I have been doing some checking and there was an American steam train here a couple of years ago. It was the buffers and size that had me puzzled but I will research some more and report back. Certainly the gauge isn't a problem but the height is with the low bridges around here.

Will you two kiss and make up already!

Paul McCartney is f**king annoying. Don't get him.

... can't Paul go down in history now? Like in a time capsule, or coffin type shape...still alive. As the nail goes in we'll hear a muffled 'Heeeey judde'....Oh shut up Paul, go gracefully here's Heathers spare leg.

Well not all trains are the same size, y'know! The one you posted a picture of was probably a coast-to-coast or industrial monster. More local services wouldn't have been any different to what we're used to seeing.

I THOUGHT TAKE THAT AND ROBBIE WERE GOING TO SING TOGETHER.

Looks a bit nippy. I say they should have thought about postponing that boat trip.

They were sneaking across the river to kick some Hessian ass on Christmas night.

Only three Americans were killed and six wounded, while 22 Hessians were killed with 98 wounded. The Americans were able to capture 1,000 prisoners and seize muskets, powder, and artillery.

Washington was a friend of my great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather and sometimes used his house as a command post during the war.
