EEeewwww!! That critter must have had a really strange parentage!
Be neat to model, though.
Why don’t you give Rooster a challenge, and tell him he can use Amtrak livery?

Definitely an ‘Ugly Duckling’.
I am trying to figure out if it is a diesel/electric or a hydraulic drive.
I think it’s pedal powered.
Not sure about that? If the engine is on the truck and swivels with the truck, then its a Forney. Otherwise it’s just a boring old diesel with a mechanical transmission.
Good idea! But I think he goes by “Martha” now…
Dam you sir! Like I need yet another Critter to model 
Just a couple of locomotive ideas and staying on topic as suggested! A little something for everyone I suppose?

Love the “car float” with all the 49 Fords!
I think the IC articulated streamliner was once dubbed the “big green cabbage worm” by some detractor. I may have read that in a book on streamliners.
Have fun, David Meashey
Cliff;
Nah! Darth Vader’s helmet looks more like the front of a 1955 Buick Roadmaster. That was my Dad’s first Buick, and the helmet still reminds me of that car.

Don’t know Cliff but I did know this !
I’m still surprised that no one noticed the…ahhh never mind…
Noticed what, the hit and miss?
Or the “Steering Wheel” which I assume is the brakes.
Could be, a lot of later rail trucks were built converting the steering wheel to a braking system.
