[modeleng] Re: Loco identity

Tel,

Fortunately I haven't seen Howard the Duck and believe I am better off for 
not having viewed it.

I did see a 3-D move back in 1952 that had some guys in gorilla costumes 
with fishbowl helmets.  It was the first 3-D movie I had ever seen and 
wasn't worth the 25 cent admission price.  No plot, nothing but these so 
called moon astronauts with the fish bowl helmets who had attacked earth for 
who knows what,  Probably to pick up women to haul back to the moon, but I 
don't remember after all these years. Probably lots of screaming by the 
picked up women.

Have you figured out how the valve motion on the weirdo loco could operate? 
I think there is something hidden from view.  Too bad we don't have a bottom 
view.  What interested me about the thing is that the cab roof and windows 
did not look like it was made by someone in Old Blighty.  The cab looked 
more 'Murrican, but those bumpers definitely came from somewhere else where 
they don't use Janny® couplers.  I stick by my original idea that someone 
just pulled the design out of thin air after having seen a steam locomotive 
back when they were just a child.

Kind of reminded me of a plaque in a National park.  The object on the 
plaque was supposed to represent a Civil War field cannon, but looked like 
some 4 year old child had drawn it.  It really looked crude to me since I 
had built myself a cannon during the CW Centennial and worked from 
blueprints from the Smithsonian Institute. and in "The Artillerist's Manual 
1860".
