Well that's what they were aiming for, but as I said it had a lot of problems such as the air suspension on the cars making them ride hard and the locomotives, which were [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMD_SW1200"]heavily modified switchers[/URL] had a lot of mechanical problems and were under-powered and they were also introduced in the twilight years of long-distance passenger train service in the United States.

I think somebody's working on trying to build one of those, but still a shame that all the originals were scrapped though.
But in terms of Steam locomotives, the Big Boy will always be my favorite:

And it hopefully won't be too long from now that the one in that picture will be running under it's own power.
[QUOTE=Talishmar;50573528]I've wondered is there some benefit to making a sword non-pointy?[/QUOTE]
As people said that one in particular is an executioners sword, but there were "real" swords that were also less pointy, and usually a less pointy sword means parallell edges and more material throughout the later parts of the sword, which leads to greater strike power.

Oh no, we'd go from one of the best flags in the world to two of the worst.
Your flag sucks how is a normal human supposed to draw it.

The England/Wales one looks like shite, but I kinda dig the Celtic Union one. Still doesn't beat the original, though.
Celtic Union one looks rad tbh, modern and fitting for a flag.

His videos are actually kinda relaxing in a weird way.

Very entertaining video, thanks for sharing!
I'm surprised he didn't mention the graphic design disaster that is the old flag of the city of Provo, Utah:

The only way to make Liberia's regional flags even better would be if they had a gradient effect like all those old flash movies/games

Poster for the Belgian 1940 movie "Those Who Watch", wich aimed to reassure the population who was afraid of Germany's remilitarization, by trying to show that the Belgian army couldn't be defeated. 6 months later, even though it resisted 18 times more than expected (1 day), the army was defeated by the Wehrmacht.
Here's the movie for those interested :
