Another critter off the CNC machine. This one is totally a fantasy but what the heck. A few resin castings and some 3D printed fellows added for good measure. This one also sits on a the USA Trains 4 wheel power truck. I’m running it track power until I can figure out how to fit my widget and batteries into it. Perhaps in the fuel tank? Hmm. I’m not set up for track power but I have an old HO transformer that works great, the little fellow scoots right along…
Looks good. and I’d call it not all that much of a fantasy, there have been some rail trucks in Russia on the 760mm gauge, which although being bogie rolling stock looked in the character of your 4 wheel critter. And about the same colors too.
These are grey, but they are of the nature of the wee beastie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKa4goDCpzU

The long louvered hood on that one would be an involved build.
