Re: Railroad Thread

Or how about... real afterburners?
Why fake? Didn’t your spin-out link also include a fire-belching exhaust stack?
Real afterburners in dinosaur/plant-juice-less electric motors usually result in reduced lifespan.

Re: Railroad Thread

3) Diesel engines make more noise, this is the USA, and we think louder is always better. :mrgreen:
We could install fake afterburners on electric locomotivies and make them cross a wall of fire and explosions every couple kilocorgis to make them more American.
