ohh! I need one that explodes on contact...but it has to do it in a head on
collision, and be easy to put back together after.

There are some of my designs that I don't like to see smashing into the floor,
but most of my stuff has been deconstructed a time or two by accident. I
haven't yet broke anything permanantly, but the day will come.
Some of my more prototypical engines are easier to figure out than the less
prototypical ones, because I have only thought of one way to do something,
whereas a freelanced loco might be done that way, or another...the set locos
are quite good for that too.
(for example the F unit (via) is fairly easy for me to figure out how it goes
back together, because it is mostly (90%) SNOT)
