This is hysterical.

Love steam engines, especially older German made.  Love the more clockwork style.  Addicted to this stuff!

Who in the He'll does that , Run a very nice loco right off the end of the tracks into the dirt ? That'll take one heck of a 4x4 to pull that back onto the tracks 😆

$170k loco vs $5k of missing tracks is hardly anything.  Im just tossing numbers out there too [with some idea] but thats a damn nice loco.

also im. mind blown the torque and power of it, it needs a load.  how fast it accelerated then went to wheel lock and skid was very impressive.  a redneck "stockloco"  Stockloco racing at the local train-track has become very popular 😜😂  but clearly less than 500 ft of track isnt a good idea.
