So what is it that you are saying exactly? You don't like the way things are on RCC? Just curious.

Man...that's an old build.

Thor built that back in the days of MaxxTraxx.

It's a shame we Thor hasn't been around much, I always enjoyed watching his threads on RCMT back in the day. Anything the built was quality.

Helluva nice guy too.

Same here, had that link bookmarked for some time now...just to go back to and get inspiration from

I had wondered why he didn't get any video of it in action...that would have been sweet.
