Try to get up on the table and steal my donut, will you? I’ll just take care of that with a headlock! Maybe I’ll eat some bacon, too, while I’m at it! Bwahahahaha!

Maybe Tigressy can confirm this as the Molli Railway going through the town of Bad Doberan in northern Germany.
I can’t find this locomotive’s number as part of its fleet, but the line is the only one that fits.
The picture below is another in the railway’s fleet.

A video. The in town part starts at roughly 3 minutes 40 seconds.

How accurate this is I leave for you to decide.
My own opinion is: Not very.
Not one of the so called “solutions” takes the gap in the circumference properly into account.

Minus measurements, no accuracy can be involved.

I don’t see where the video even suggests that one of the proposed scenarios is correct, much less proves it.

Too many variables to even attempt to figure out, and doesn’t make sense without them.

Things like weight and circumference of the two stones, length of the incline, height of the fulcrum, especially compared to the length of those spikes.

Eyeballing a drawing that may or may not be highly accurate is no substitute for measurements.

A small difference in proportion can make a totally different outcome.

And if i had all that data, i wouldn’t be into spending time on the calculations, if i even remembered how to do all of them.

BatBasset and Sparrow have made it into the semi-secret inner sanctum of those fearsome felines… The Evil White Cat Gang!

Bounding through the door in a surprise leap… this time, they were unexpected! .. they’re nonetheless faced with a display of sharp claws and bared teeth.

I have to say, though… the well-fed kitties don’t seem to be springing into instant action…

For the moment, they’re more inclined to sit and hiss, and wave an ineffectual paw or two.

Well, remember, you cats… “Teeth and claws ♪ ♫ will give me pause, but a hiss will never hurt me!”♫ ♪

Still… Holy Humility, BatBasset and Sparrow!

Before you get carried away by your fancy caped costumes– don’t get cocky!

If Sparrow can quote Yogi Berra, so can I:

It ain’t over till it’s over.”

This is true.

I wanted to just post the picture, as it has the required text in it, but WordPress insisted that I add text, and I panicked.

You did this as an attachment, and WordPress does insist you fill in (read acknowledge) the comment box.
If you just post the picture’s U.R.L. in the comment box, (right click on the picture and select   “Copy image address”   it will, 99.99% of the time, post without problems (the .001% that don’t I have yet to find out why).
 
I’ve put an attachment below. It’s the method I use to add attachments without any further comment from me.
 
P.S.
I saw it….. 😁

Thanks, Alexi!
I had noticed a long time ago that nighthawks had “place-holders” (for lack of a better word), and I had oft wondered why :: and now I know. And, I didn’t know that there was a requirement for some textual additive for WordPress, when I’ve posted a photo in the past I guess I always had some text to go along with it.
Nice workaround, and makes sense.

I uploaded the picture straight off of my computer and not from the web as it was in a format that sometimes doesn’t work here, so I had to download the image and change the format using Paint Shop Pro and then upload it using the attachment feature.

I would normally just upload it to my Imgur account and use the URL from there to avoid all these issues, but they’ve decided they don’t want to be an image-hosting platform anymore after they were bought out and started to chase the advertising dollar…

Still learning the ways of the WordPress……

Thanks for the info.
