Steampunk Remote Controled Train (Nov, 1936)
Robot Engine Built in Japan Is Driven by Remote Control
Automatic train control is understood to be a feature of a mysterious robot locomotive model built in Japan. Streamlined, but of a design unlike any conventional locomotive, the details of its mechanism have not been revealed. It is believed, however, that it will be operated electrically by remote control and will be equipped with a braking mechanism which will stop it automatically if the rails ahead become dangerous.
First: This ain’t “steampunk”. It says ELECTRIC does it not?
2nd: I’m so frigging tired of the whole steampunk thing and idiots like yourself mislabeling it. This is just old tech at the advent of “remote control”
Jesus H. Christ!
BTW> What IS Jesus middle name? Mom never told me when she would hiss that at us as kids.

Like I said Ric, never an idea of your own. “Vanna! Buy that man a clue!”

Oh, and look it up, it’s not a dragon, it is a species of dino. Damn Ric, you really are “bitchin” Ric like you blog says.

Cool! A troll!
Anyone want to bet that he thinks he’s a Nice Guy?

It’s not a species of Dino. You watched the Animal Planet mockumentary and thought it was real didn’t you? It was special effects. It was bogus.

Time after time I’ve watched trolls ruin my experience at various websites to the
point that I can no longer tolerate looking at the comments section and eventually
to the point that I just give up on them all together.
Charlie-
Please ban this troll.

Charlie, I concur with Stannous. Lose this annoyance.

I agree he’s a troll, but I haven’t had to ban anybody yet and I’d prefer not to start now. If he misbehaves in the future, I’ll get rid of him.

Sorry for all the trouble.
Comment by Ric — February 20, 2008 @ 5:34 am
sn’t intending to troll. And to Charlie for putting up with it, and the community.

Comment by Tim Giachetti — February 20, 2008 @ 7:56 am
Thanks, Tim.

First let me say the new look is great! I appreciate the effort put into this site. The site just keeps evolving and getting better. It is a pleasant place to visit.
Second, I don’t come here to read comments by someone who shows no class. You can read those sort of comments in any Lets act 15 chat room. The whole line of crap was uncalled for. Grow up Timmy boy.

Mike, did you not see the apology above? Now who is acting the child? This is the second post you have attempted to provoke. Grow up Mikey boy.
