The only story about Shaner I've heard thus far that comes close to that is this one.. It's short and sweet.
Len went to a model railroad club to test one of his "New" locomotives. It was a Piece of shit from the 1970s and could hardly move under its own power. Some of the younger kids (13-16) were playing with their newer locomotives. Len "Accidentally" threw a switch that caused one of the kid's locomotives to become split on two DC loops with currently flowing in opposite directions. It fried the electronic gear instantly, And basically robbed one of the kids of his 300 Dollar locomotive he had mowed lawns all summer to buy.
The kid basically started to cry, and his mother came over and asked Len how he planned to pay for it. Len said it was an accident and an argument followed. Then Len then did one of the worst things I've ever heard of him doing.
He went over and picked up the broken engine and said something then SLAMMED IT ONTO THE CONCRETE FLOOR. Any chance of the engine being sent in under a warranty were gone. Len then left and there ends the story.
For future reference, I'll just call this one a "Shaner Slam Dunk"
While I don't have a photo of the aftermath, I did manage to talk to the kid (Who is now 17) and his Mother who both confirmed the story.
I do have one small favor to ask my Fellow Kiwis.. Somebody buy me a drink once this is over? I'd like to be able to relax after toiling away in the Shaner Pit..
Thanks,
