Reply to "Did You Ever Drop A Locomotive?"

I bought my 736 thru the mail from a friend. We live in a rural area, and if your mailbox isn't large enough for a package, the carrier will leave the package in one of those plastic shopping bags, hooked on the mailbox. I looked out to see if the mail had gone, and sure enough there was a package hanging from the mailbox.I went out for it, and I was just a few steps away when the bag broke and the box hit the ground. Naturally it was my 736, and it had hit the ground pilot first. The cowcatcher broke off, as did one of the markers on the boiler front. The post office replaced the broken parts, and I bought a bigger mailbox that day.
