Well maybe a battery pack to run the rotating light in the lighthouse?
How many laps around the layout before it runs out of “air”, Devon? (https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif)
Your tender cold be a little flat car with a gas powered compressor.

Since its my railroad my rules I could build the first perpetual motion locomotive. The tender has a compressor that is driven by the wheels on the track that produces air at the same rate as the locomotive consumes it. Then it would run forever.

Right up 'til the batteries die (https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-tongue-out.gif)
Here is a picture of how the main body/tank is coming along.
Have you allocated the last 2 weeks just to rivets?
Starting to look like a locomotive. Rivets, where are the darn rivets? You can’t wait 'til the last minute to show those because we have to count all of them and with this bunch that’s going to take a while (https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-tongue-out.gif)

Dude you have no idea. Between the main loco and the tender I am almost regretting this. Thats why you don’t see any yet. And why I am going glue on as opposed to my normal sewing pins. There are like 10,000 rivets to put on

Dude, you just screwed up, now everyone will be counting the rivets looking for 10k of them
Don’t worry Devon, we couldn’t count that high even if we did take our shoes off (https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-surprised.gif)

Have you seen Pete? I bet he has 10K toes on just his left foot.
Hey… after I get up to 21 I’m in trouble, can’t count any higher…

Rivet day. 473 so far. But I caught a break: the little stick on perals I bought (Recollections Bling Stickers-pearls-Michaels) come in rows of two on an adhesive strip. So I was able to remove every other one alternating top and bottom to get the staggard rivet look. Then the entire strip was stuck on. Even the bottom row which has a skipped rivet pattern on the bottom was easy. Then the ones I popped off I was able to do the very top pattern and the round pattern on the front by gluing them on individually. Still a lot of work. But way easier and a whole lot easier to get lined up.
Very cool. Glad you got 47+ friends to help you count 
473? You sure? I counted 474…
You got one out of place, its not on the line correctly (https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-surprised.gif)Actually, the one to the right is off a bit too. You must start over (https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-tongue-out.gif)
Wow, that is a lot of rivets but it looks damn good.

VERY impressive! (Of course we MIGHT just have a NEW level of sickness involved! (https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-foot-in-mouth.gif))
Nice work!
What can I say Dan. The riveters were at Jim’s late last night and weren’t walking to straight this morning.
Actually when you have the weirdness that is my vision they look straight.

The clear answer is you NEED MORE BOURBON!
