B-mann DD40AX

[nscaler711]

Unfortunantly i had to pitch my DD40AX away b/c im a clumsy fool.
what had happened was that i had accidently knocked ithe train off of my train table....when she hit the floor the shell and the trucks shatterd:cry:
it sucked. i had put so much time and effort to get it back running after the dude on ebay sold it to me for $30.00+.

Thats a real shame, monetarily and from the point of view of losing a piece of equipment. Maybe some kind of low wall, clear plastic or even some low terrain along the edge of the layout will prevent that problem in the future.

HOLLY SMOKES!:eeki: nscaler711, i feel bad for you . i shudder at the thought of that happening to ANY of my engines . no possible way of fixing it huh? BTW, NICE avatar! -Deano

What a bummer... I would take a bit of time to think of some easy ways to keep that from happening again. I see that Jim has thrown out a couple of good ideas. You might want to consider a soft floor covering also to mitigate a future occurance if you are not able to put the blocks or extension into effect. Hang on to the motor, and gears and frame for possible bashing projects.
