Anyone who finds irony a welcome seasoning in their daily life may enjoy the story of a Memorial to the Heroes of Kruty http://wp.me/p1xNiX-8q It includes a rather attractive Soviet 0-10-0 (Er799-13)

They should put some dummy army guys with fake guns pointing at the train with the engineers hands up taking the train.

The origins of the design, however, go back to 1912. Pre-Revolution.

So although is is unmistakeably a later Soviet Er-class, it's akin to the C&O 2-6-6-2 1309 at Cumberland now: a 1949 loco built as a contemporary clone of a 1915 design.

Both are products of the "if it works, don't muck with it" approach.
