if you so choose you can click on the 'edit' instead of making new post.
to the subj, not dissing your model but i really don't understand how prototypes having "life saver" logo contribute to safety or awareness. if one is an idiot he will cross under closing gate logo or no logo

Theres always gonna be morons in this world just the way it is. but heres the beauty of a moron doing that . They got smashed by the train hence no more idiot to infect the rest of the world . I just thought it would look cool with the loco i have.

not saying its not and i actualy have "operation lifesaver" caboose. what i'm wondering however is lets say i'm an idiot. i run under closing gates all day. and then suddenly i see a caboose or a loco with "operation lifesaver" logo. is that really something that will make me go "oh... i guess i need to stop running under closing gates."
i highly doubt.
IMHO, thats a PR action on railroad companys part "look! we are trying."

Nice work...I really do like it.
My favorite stood at a grade crossing for many years...it was a thoroughly crushed car that was wrecked at that crossing---with a sign over it saying simply, "If it's a tie...you lose."

I like it. Here's a piece of trivia on the topic, though. I work for a trucking company. It's not well known, but railroads can employ railway police to monitor crossings, among other things. They can issue traffic tickets within their (the railroad right-of-way) jurisdiction that are just as valid as a State Trooper's. In addition, if the driver is in a CMV (Commercial Motor Vehicle), there is an automatic suspension of license for 2 to 6 months for things like not looking before crossing, crossing when it's not clear, dodging around the gates, or stopping while straddling a crossing, even if it's because someone ahead of you stopped. It's not only stupid but can hit you in the wallet to beat the train, even on a bicycle.

Hey, forgive my ignorance - was the car completely undecorated to start?what do you think of this? was just goofing around while my son was doing his homework at the kitchen table. Had some extra stickers from one of my undecorated debogles
Great job either way. I like it.

First of all, you guys totally got way off the subject with the car.
Your car looks good, I would think as long as "you like it" who cares what the mass' think.?
I think its kind of kool, not prototype, but kool.
Just for the record, you might be suprised at who might get a "reality check" just seeing it go by. I think like most of us, when we were kids, loved to watch a train go by. If ONE child askes their dad, "what does that mean dad?", and he gives him the jist of it. It might one day save his/his families life.
That my friends, is why they do this.....
