    fatal train accident

    No, it's not a safe place- you have to use common sense and simple precautions. Don't walk on tracks, don't drive around barriers at crossings, Stop, Look and Listen! (Remember that campaign?). We've lived with railroads for 200 years and we can continue to if we can behave above the level of a...

    [Free Model #3] - Canon's Komatsu Loading Shovel

    D, I just wanted to say...I LOVE the way you presented your build- what with the cartoon text bubbles and overlapping images. The care you took with the model is reflected in the quality of the presentation. Just enough tongue-in-cheek "I don't take this too seriously" flavor. Bravo! Bruce
