Bachman Rail Truck Bash

This is a work in progress. More details to add, not prototype, but I like it…

They’re great for that!

I’ve done a couple of them.

Scott,

I like it too! (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)

Nice! I keep seeing the Bachmann trucks and thinking I “need” one for my railroad. I’ve got two rail trucks already, though, so I would need to come up with something really unique (like this) to justify a third.

Later,

That’s very nice looking 'bash… Well done…

That’s a clever combination of the Bachmann railtruck and what looks to be a shortened Bachmann tank

But it doesn’t look like “number 2” to me, it looks good.

Scott, that will look perfect on the Washington Idaho & Montana Ry Co. I’ll even pay the freight.

Well done Scott. What happened to Fire Truck #1 ? was it also “well done” when a out of control fire cooked it??

I bought one of those when Trainworld was having a big sale on them and it is yet to run a single lap. I have been thinking about bashing it and making it a battery RC rig and while it is in pieces I would fix the loose drive train problem these have.

Well done Scott.

Someone told me to replace the screws holding the drive with the ones for the snowplow that were included with it. I did that and it seems to run fine. Have alot more detailing to do yet. Hose reel and other goodies yet… thanks for the kind words…

That looks very well done, Scott. What did you make the tank out of?
