There's no tellings
what you might see when you're out lineside as I hope that the bashers
blog has shown you. Pristine BNSF ACe's, beat up old SD40's or
locomotives from the other side of the country. You often get
surprised. You can often get surprised looking around the yards or
looking at the cars as the train goes by. I've seen some interesting
and things and I thought that "If you modelled
that they wouldn't believe you" would be a good title for the section

We'll start with one
of my
favourites and a sight that is not at all uncommon. The misplaced
aircon cover on the C-44 loco. When in the shop being serviced the
aircon unit is always serviced and quite often when the panel covering
the unit is replaced its not the panel that was removed. Here's a
warbonnet C-44 with a Heritage Orange aircon cover. That sticks out
like a sore thumb.

Here's another really
neat one this is a rather bad looking patch and paint job on a gondola.
A plate has been welded on the side and the reporting number has been
both stencilled on and sprayed on! A very strange sight indeed.
