What to do with a spare cab and a AC drive brick just laying around…?
Cab is from a cheeser Lionel battery engine, so is the smokebox front, tender is a cut up Xmas toy tender, rest is scratched or cobbled together from spare parts. The overall form came to me after looking at the cab and some sadletanker pics. Painted it and begun weathering it today, more to come once I’m finished.
Uh-oh, I have some parts sorta like that laying around, darn you Vic! Neat idea man.
Who squashed that engine? Looks good.
Now that is something.
Vic said:Did it hurt, Vic? :P
I had an Idea....
Looks like you had several ideas…and got them jumbled together :lol:
I’d say it’s a one of a kind Victor original.
You should start signing this stuff so someone can get rich off it when you’re gone

Vic had an idea for this loco, as Pontiac had an idea for the Aztec.
Should be a stout little puller tho!
Painted and weathered, might have overdone the dust spray

Its loosley (very loosely) based on a Bell type geared locomotive.
Victor,
Paint looks good. What did you use for the “dust”?
Ralph
Great " idea " Vic. Got anymore?
neat little engine…
That is great vic. You need to start your own line of trains.
Ralph for the dust I use the krylon camo tan you can use the powders as well. The krylon is easier I think.
Forrest Scott Wood said:Yes, but WHAT exactly? Kind looks like a dog that tried to chase a parked car... don't it?
Now that is something.
Thanks to Bobs new post fix I finally saw this thread. Cool idea Vic.

Victor, Paint looks good. What did you use for the "dust"? Ralph
