You're talking about 4564, I am sure, although the wording is
ambiguous... don't ask what is wrong with 4559, that's plowed ground at
this point, nicht wahr?
Well maybe it's me that dislikes 4564 and not everyone else. The engine
is just plain lame to my way of thinking. It's not american and it's not
european either. Those cab windows are weird. I've tried (fairly hard)
to use them in other constructions and could never come up with anything
good.
And the boxcar with a mailbin inside? that's weird too. If anything,
4564 shows some of the LSD-ish thinking that 4559 has. Sort of a
bad-trip-pre-flashback, as it were.
