Note to self: great idea for a T-Trak or N-Trak module!

That lead picture looks like a model!

 :oops:  Oops:


The whaleway inspectorate will no doubt produce a report in due time...

Don't start spouting on, it's pretty obvious it's a fluke accident.

It's like those statues were put there on porpoise.

Thank God they were, the driver could have been krilled!

I bet when the shock set in he had a bit of a blubber.

it's a  whale weight station

Dunno what the Dutch is for 'the end' so......

Credit where credit is due.....

I doubt there are very many cantilevered (or whatever the proper term for that would be- but it does not have a vertical support column under the end of the tail) sculptures could hold a railroad car.  Pretty impressive engineering.

I have a mind like a steel trap...a VERY rusty, old steel trap.

Yes, cantilever is the right word.  :)
