Jim sez:" History Channel is notorious for using clips
of vehicles from the wrong era... locomotives
and heavy equipment are my favorites."


Second that, Jim! Don't you get tired of seeing the same old WW1 "geyser of
dirt" used over and over again?

The best misuse of a locomotive I ever saw was one of the "return to the
future" movies. In it, MJ Fox was standing on the footboard of an 1880's
locomotive reputed to be grossly overpressured in some attempt to attain
warp speed. The steam pressure was causing the smoke-box nuts to unscrew.
