A couple little loco bashes for the Pizza Layout

Modeling
#1

A couple little loco bashes, unpowered, I’ll be using the pusher car. This allows me to build whatever odd crazy idea I have without being hamstrung by a complete lack of readily available drive mechanisms. I also allows me to utilize the bunch of loco parts I got from Chris into something useful.

First up Betsy, an HLW Gondola, LGB Porter tank, Bachmann Porter Cab, Lionel smokebox. The
stack is the dail from an old radio:

Next is Noname, what started as a short basswood flatcar using the cheap, and I mean really cheap Chinese no name (Hence the name) toy train set. Bachmann Columbia cab, part of a Bachmann sidetank, a plumbing piece and an automotive funnel. Sorry no progress pics on this one, went too fast and i was too lazy:

I may add drives someday, theres a Magic Carpet like drive from Britain that might work well, we’ll see.

Crazy little Contraptions Vic. hinging on the edge of steam punk. I like that vertical boiler.

I like the vertical boilered one too, its just too cool. But what disturbs me is the storage unit behind it labeled;

LARGE PARTS

BODY PARTS

David,

You’re gruesome!

#5

Joe, does it say “BODY PARTS” or not?

I had drawers in the back of my one jeep full of copier parts. One of them was labeled “Large Parts” and the one below it was labeled “Large Parts the Sequel”. So I am not gruesome, I am just a sick puppy.

:wink:
