The Nerd Herd cars are never smeared with sooty grease that I can recall. Utterly destroyed, on occassion, but otherwise they are clean and pristine.

   When I was with the GMLTC, we did a show that featured an amazing guy who scratch-built these beautiful 8” gauge live steam locos. They were unfreaking believable! He used rollers to show the drivers in action, and instead of using steam, he had a compressor and drove them with air. A much better solution indoors IMO. Of course, the damned compressor made a racket all weekend, but it was worth it!

Did I say functional model steam locomotives? Because I meant the kind that can flatten a penny and race Superman. As in these people.
