Because the Apocrypha and Guest Apocrypha indices exceeded the capacity of the
individual pages, they are now presented in full on a separate
Berlinerwerke Apocrypha Index (including the
Guest Apocrypha Index).
Before I start, I should note that all this started with a secret project that is still unfinished and the next major development of the Berlinerwerke was their fabled DDP45:

ADDITIONAL APOCRYPHA
Gee, I wonder if they ever caught the wag in the Pennsy's Altoona
Works paint shop who perpetrated this non-standard decoration on the
Standard RR of the World's BP-20 (Baldwin DR6-4-20) passenger
Shark 5773:

The misunderstandings between me and my well-meaning friends and
relatives are legion; I wanted an LIRR 5-axle C-liner, NOT a
"sea liner":

The same held true when I asked for an Erie-built and
got an Eerie-built:

Things went from bad to worse when I wanted a model of the 1954
Baldwin-built 4,500HP N&W steam turbine-electric, the Jawn Henry or
Big John:

The same problem pertained when I requested a T-boiler Shay,
not a Tea-boiler!:
(24 Jan 2008 image by and © 2008 S. Berliner, III - all rights reserved)
Anatole Mallet invented the compound articulated locomotive; you can
always tell a Mallet from a simple articulated because the
front (low-pressure) cylinders are much larger than the rear ones:

A Forney was somewhat like half a Meyer in that it only had one engine
under the boiler but that engine was a swiveling bogie; what most
people don't know is that Ira Ersatz invented a combustion efficiency
indicator gauge which was mounted on the backheads of Forneys and
tradenamed (by George) the Forneycator:

I thought it would be nice to get an old Baldwin steamer, NOT a
Bald Wynn!:

Speaking of General Electric, they run the world's largest
drop-center flat car, GEX 80003, and I thought I'd like
another picture of it carrying a giant transformer for my
Schnabel and other giant car pages:
(01 Feb 08)
(01 Feb 2008 image by and © 2008 S. Berliner, III - all rights reserved)
No, NO, NO! That's NOT the kind of
transformer I meant! Ya know, I doubt those guys on the ropes
are gonna have much control over that monster.
General Electric EB10b Electric Loco - Metro North Railroad had
three 1,000HP GE E10b 126-ton
center-cab electric switchers, road nos. 401-403, used in Grand
Central Terminal and known as "Tunnel Rats". Crews complained
that they had trouble seeing couplers and cut levers from the cab in
the dim recesses of GCT so the BW got into the act and created a
boxcab body, putting the crew right above the end sills:
(07 Aug 08)
(07 Aug 2008 image by and © 2008 S. Berliner, III - all rights reserved)
Putting the crew back at the ends of the loco was no problem since the
units only operated at crawl speed. Maximum access to equipment
that had been relocated out by the walls was assured by retaining the
external doors from the hoods. An early version of ditch lights
greatly improved the crews ability to see in the dark. For all I
know, these units might still be found puttering around in the dark
under GCT.
Here's Warren Ricatelli and Richie Einhorn at the NARCOA Speeders meet
in upstate NY on 28/29 Apr 2007, exulting at their successful grafting
of a 347HP V-8 into their Fairmont speeder:

They stuck the radiator on the back for better balance. That
thing really FLIES (and you should see the exhaust plume at night)!

As always, you know you can count on the BW to find totally-unbelievable

I always wondered at the incredibly tight security at the Berlinerwerke during WWII;
now it can be told! See, for starters, the wild site of Sig Case,
Rails to the Stars - Steam in Space, files from the National Aeronautics and
Steam Administration and the tie-in to the Berlinerwerke V1 on
Apocrypha Page 2.

If you are air-minded (take that as you choose), you must see the Lion Air site! I'd be Lion if I didn't warn you to keep your tongue in your cheek on this one!
Take your tongue out of your cheek and visit D. Dickens' The Patiala State Monorail Tramway site; whooie (and it's for real)!
