Anybody want to buy a Locomotive?

Not always. I had an opportunity to acquire a locomotive some years ago, for free (prime mover removed), and set about arranging for transportation, by rail, to a siding not too far from our small farm. Luckily, I did inquire about the zoning bylaws, and railway rolling stock and locomotives were expressly forbidden on private property in our area. Learning this saved me from even bothering to look into the cost of hiring a suitable truck and the crane(s) to move it from the siding to our farm, let alone the expense and effort to prepare a suitable place for a 65 ton locomotive.

So Wayne, you aren't allowed to even have a boxcar as a shed? i see those all over the place.

No, not in that particular jurisdiction. Pretty silly, really, as the area included some real eyesores as far as housing was concerned. :rolleyes: I didn't pursue the matter further, as I realised that "free" covered only the initial acquisition. :-D

I was only joking Doc.

Although, I've recently come across some detailed plans for a 1930's style Canadian Pacific wooden caboose. Framework, Interior, the works...

And summer is just around the corner.... Muuuaaaaahahahaaaa!!!
