I'm going off the rails on a Crazy Train!
Bring back trains!
Another lovely little vintage set, and another train one at that. @Huwbot is really making a stand for vintage trains.
Huwbot does have a soft spot for vintage train sets, doesn't he? Bless him.

"Loco and Tender"
Kind of sounds like a dating-profile of the "not even once"-variety. Friends don't let their friends stack their bricks on crazy.
Destination Acapulco?
Loco tender, loco sweet...
One of my first lego sets
Rebuild it a few years ago.
Motor and gear box required cleaning and re greasing. But it worked fine.
Not bad for 50-year-old set
Down by the station early in the morning,
See the little pufferbellies all in a row.
See the engine driver pull the little handle,
Puff, puff, Toot! Toot! Off we go.
(This song was the first thing I thought of when I saw today's RSOTD. The engine even has a little handle to throw to get it to go!)
Love the diagram showing how to couple the back of the locomotive to the front of the locomotive, maybe possible in a wrap around alternative dimension.
I had a couple of those battery boxes - always fun having built something and got it moving and having to chase it around the room to flick the switch to make it stop!
