It was rainy last weekend and I was itching for a quick project so I cut down a cheap Echo tender, bolted it to a LGB Porter and made a small Forney.
This loco is battery powered with Piko control.
I made a video featuring the build process and then the Forney hits the rails to turn a hot lap on the RR with several runbys for your viewing pleasure.

It’s fun to make things that are a bit different.
I like it!
For years I have been thinking about bashing an LGB Mogul into a 2-6-4 Forney type.
Todd, it looks and runs great. Nice work. 
Nice!
Yes, that is what I had in mind.
It’s on my list of things to do.
Todd;
Great job! Now for a view of extreme opposites, could you photograph it pulling the Schnabble car?

I’m with Mr. Meashey. The colors even match.
Now that would be a feat Dave.
I think this new Forney could pull the Schnable IF it was pointed down grade and given a little push.
The Schnable weighs 22 pounds ! 
Just harness Meashey’s coon cat to the pilot and put an open can of tuna down the line.
Piece of cake!
