Runaway Wreck
Dateline Aurora Illinois: An Aurora & Portland RR engine ran wild after the brakeman forgot to apply the brakes before exiting the engine. A spokesman for the NTSB stated that the brakeman had worked over his 12 hours and shouldn't have been on duty. The engine, A&P #47 ran south out of Aurora on trackage leading to the Southside Chemical plant. Officials at the railroad decided to derail the engine before it caused a major accident. The SD-40-2 snoot nose engine was switched over to a siding 2 miles from the chemical plant. The engine slammed into a boxcar, derailing the engine off of the siding causing the fuel tank to explode and burn the engine extensively.

Boy, Jerome, maybe you can get together with nekom and give hime some pointers on how engines will look in a post-apocalyptic world.
 Nice wreck job though.

Thank you gentleman. I'm surprised at how easy these wrecks are to do. I've collected 100's of pictures of real wrecks now as inspiration. I'm even thinking about doing a diorama of a salvage yard kinda like this.

As usual Jerome, you've done well yet again. I really like the idea of a salvage yard too. It seems that there could be a lot of potential with that on a lot of layouts. It could be a great way to include some extra lines or fallen flags that would not normally be seen in some locales.

Carl,
I got the idea from Phil ie Martin_Lumber. He sent me that website. I'm in the process of collecting engines shells now that will be cut up and salvaged. Then I can pretty much add any RR equipment out there. I think it'll be a 4' X 6' diorama.

Jerome,
I absolutely love the idea more and more as I continue to think about it and look at what you are building there already. So many great ideas yet not enough room for all of them. Can't wait to see your's progress.
