Ogel is back with a new weapon to affect world domination:
The Train of Assimilation
Here are the pics:

The following shot shows Ogel at the control of this super-fast train.

Note the complex, multi-angle SNOT construction that pushes the width of
this monster out to over 10 studs!
The "spear" on the front is used for ramming trains that get in the way.
When the capsule breaks, the train's passengers (and anyone else within 2
miles) are immediately zombieized.
This shot shows a side view of the engine:

One notes the juxtaposition of pipes, wires, and fiber-optics. The train is
powered by an internal micro-nuclear reactor. When running, plasma shoots
through the fiber optic wires and into the electric engine in the center.
The turbines on either side are used to super-cool the reaction. If one of
these turbines should ever fail while in operation, a melt-down would occur.
However, in Ogel's unique view, power rules over safety.
Next in line, are two strategic missile carriers.

When stopped, the train can launch these missiles to assimilate an
unsuspecting city. More carriers can be added to the train for a greater
missile spread. The following shot shows a carrier ready to launch:

Finally, the train ends with the "Caboose of Excruciating Death:"

Small anti-aircraft missiles can be launched from either side of this car.
Close-in support is provided by a rotating set of anti-aircraft cannons:

| (...) This engine is amazing! The SNOT construction makes the engine very unique. Did the Arches (<part:6005>) come from multiple 10020 Super Chiefs? (...) Someone's been making good use of the Alpha Team parts! Incredible work, -Kevin (22 years ago, 14-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)

| The Engine looks great I love the detail put into the train are great. I like the way the front of the engine is angled. It makes it look a lot more intimidating. Good work. Evan Riskedahl (22 years ago, 14-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)
