Bump this idea, I want a pet zombie. Id love him and pet him and name him George.

Hi, i was playing the other night with a friend and we came to an idea that maybe you could paint the windows over instead of using a curtain. Same idea as the curtain but you would not be able to "remove" it, unless you had paint thinner or ghaffti remover. Not a necessity but something to add a little more immersion.

I've used one myself (hand operated), and actually that's the only one I've seen in my life I don't know about how common they are in the US, though. However, Muldraugh has a nice and big trainyard which now is almost empty. Maybe there is a chance that one of those could be sitting there somewhere in the future? Thats interesting it would be fun to use one of those things. I read your other link didn't know what they where called, thanks for sharing.

I've never seen one of these in real life- have you? Had about 4 train tracks I crossed each day for work for several years, and was right by the train depot. I don't think these have actually been seen except in museums in quite a long time, though I could be mistaken. Not in action or anything, just a set piece for an old west town and in a museum.

How about one of those manual/ man powered rail things. It has like a see-saw pivot in the middle. No gas or need to learn anything, slower than a train but faster than walking. And as for real trains, most modern trains use 2 motors/generators to operate. A Diesel generator to power a electic motor, the electric motor creates the mechanical force used to make the train move.
