Sorry "Derail" the current subject train but I did find out something interesting.
Len has "Gone Hulk" on another model railroad before. This one was a Train show in PA.
This one was caused by another Disagreement between the owner of the layout and Len. According to the owner, (Who has been a friend of mine for 5 years now) Len wanted them to run another train so he could get a photo of it.. (A Bachmann 2 Truck shay pulling a Log train) and when they said no, He picked this locomotive up and dropped it on the floor. Then Len stepped on the tender, Shattering the plastic body of the shell and the wheelsets under it. Then he kicked it under the layout and shouted "F*** you and your green Piece of shit" and then stormed out.
Here are some photos of the Aftermath, Labeled for easy reading.

The locomotive of the First "Shaner Rage quit". Cab shell beaten in. Len Apparently kicked this one and threw the tender into a "Lake" (A Scaled down pool of water on the layout to form a lake) The locomotive has been stripped of it's leading wheels and internal electronics. The side rods were broken during Len's "Attack"

A bucket of parts. This is all that is left of the tender. If you look at the truck set ontop of the pile you can see that it has a crack in it, Caused by Len stepping on it.
It should be noted that this is what the locomotive would have looked liked Prior to the "attack". This one is in a Different paint scheme, however it is the same base model.

The axles under the tender were also broken. If you all would like me to get some more photos of the aftermath, I can. The Gent who owns the locomotive and the layout is willing to do whatever he can to help bring an end to Len's stupidity. I had a very long phone conversation with him this morning.
Anyways, Sorry for the photo Spam.
Thanks,
