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. |
