Scroll down to the sixth picture.... now I know German narrow gauge lines have low maximum speeds, but I still think their version of the RSPCA might have something to say.... ;)

Joking aside, it looks like an interesting set of items with a rather different scratchbuilt or heavily converted loco? Well out of my current price range though!

I thought you were kidding.....

Must be a comment on the 'Nanny' state........arf arf
 
I saw this item a few days ago and laughed at a) the price, b) the supposed Kiss / one of a kind (obviously a bash) and c) why they were hiding the loco behind a plastic goat in the main picture. They goatta be kidding :o

Excuse me if I'm being a bit harsh here but that is a truly awful re-paint job and rather hamfisted bit of kit bashing. At that price I'd expect an unadulterated "museum quality" finish. I sometimes have to wonder when I see what might have been a perfectly good saleable item reduced to zero value trash by its owner. If its a Bachmann Connie fair enough, they come two a penny, but......

Looks to me like the mods he's done are primarily in metal; I'm assuming there is a Rugen 0-8-0 chassis underneath there somewhere with a significantly lengthened boiler and a rebuilt cab, plus a tender. The same seller appears to have a number of similarly built other locos probably done by the same guy. Silly prices anyway, whatever the quality of the work.

Still, the most interesting point was the goat.... ;)

The young couple invited their elderly priest for Sunday dinner.
While they were in the kitchen preparing the meal, the priest asked their son what they were having.
"Goat," the little boy replied.
"Goat?" replied the startled man of the cloth, "Are you sure about that?"
"Yep," said the youngster. "I heard Dad say to Mom, Today is just as good as any to have the old goat for dinner."

Hat..coat...door
 
One of the oldest in the book:

Child brings a goat home, says he found it and asks if he can keep it.

Aghast mother says "You can't keep a goat in the house, what about the smell!?"

Child replies "I guess the goat will have to get used to it...."

BOOM-tssh....

Ithangyou!

Doctor, Doctor I feel like a goat.

How long have you felt like that?

Since I was a kid.

da-dahhhhhh
 
To sort of bring it back to rail theme...loosely that is.........

Ed and Ted were out walking in the woods one afternoon when they came across a large hole. Peering in they realised that they could not see the bottom. "I wonder how deep it is?" Ed said.

Ted said: "Drop a stone in and count the seconds before it hits the bottom - that'll be how many feet deep it is."
So they look around for a suitable stone and drop it into the hole. Nothing happened. There was no sound at all.
Ted said: "Try something bigger."
So Ed looked around and found a large rock and threw that into the hole, but there was still no sound.
Ted said: "Try something really big."

Ed looked around and stumbled across a railway sleeper which he dragged to the hole and dropped it in. Still nothing.

As they craned over the hole there was a furious rustling in the undergrowth behind them.
The two men turned in time to see a goat charging directly towards them. They hit the ground as the goat launched itself and disappeared down the hole.

A little while later, on their way home they met a farmer wandering around the wood. He seemed quite agitated and came right up to the two men and asked if either of them had seen a goat that day.
"We have as a matter of fact," said Ted. "We damn near was knocked into the deepest hole I ever saw by a rampaging goat. Lucky for us we got out of the way in time and the goat fell into the hole instead."
"Well that couldn't have been my goat," the farmer said. "I tied mine to a railway sleeper!"
