Theoretical justification: Avalanche control. Of course, that would not really work for Conrail, but western railroads, it would make some sense.

After the war, the US took one of those German guns, converted it to fire atomic shells. Nicknamed "Atomic Annie". Found it in history channel and I built the 1/35 scale model.

0:50 I have that set. The locomotive ran horribly, the motor armature wouldn't sit right, so I scrapped it and have any other locomotive pull the train, including my Conrail 0-4-0 before it gave out.

Now you need an ammunition car to go with it. Maybe a crew car as well, a caboose might not hold the whole team. Nice job.

@jonathangreenlees4772 9 ай бұрын

For the ammo car, I suggest using a 50 foot gondola with several racks of visible shells at the ready. For the crew car, maybe a model of a retired heavyweight sleeper car would do the trick.

Another excellent, and informative video amigo. I find I have to do at least two viewings to get all the additional text, and sight gags that you embed in your story, and to truely appreciate (?) your narrative. Your obsession with wheeled things (or non-wheeled things) in Conrail livery is deserving of...say some Conrail branded but stained and chipped ashtrays from five or so BUDD dome cars they ran in the 80's. I beleive they were used on the "NO TUNNELS PLEASE" routes after that one incident back in '84. You're f'ing welcome.

As an aside on the Blue Discussion. Nobody uses actual Conrail Blue on models bcs the specific tone doesn't show properly under most interior lighting options due to the finish. So most use a lighter shade which will match pictures better under standard model lighting conditions. And thats not getting to the fact that a lot of the late 70s and early 80s renditions were almost always shop mixes that are all a bit different from eachother. If you want to rivet count color it needs to be done on a unit by unit basis.

I hate to break the bad news to you (actually, I don't give a F... as you don't either), but such a rail car would need to be placed at the front as its weight would be x3 of a standard 50 foot Railroad 5077 cu ft boxcar. In model terms I did the math, the car should weigh in at 8 to 11.5 oz. Language other than H or D is allowed (for God's sake for the children man!) Over all, its a good video. You did a great job on painting. You got me inspired. Thanks.
