Large Scale Central

New from the Borracho Locomotive Works

Just finished this one, my version of the Simplex armored trench locomotive aka the Tin Turtle. These were built to haul ammo and supplies to the front lines in WW1, then found there way to many diverse small railroads across Britain, this is styrene over a Lionel handcar drive.

Looks super, Vic. Very realistic.

Are you going to use it as a post-war industrial loco on the BSR, or do you have a WWI scene planned for the layout or a pizza? I ask because a front lines trench war pizza might be pretty unique & interesting.

Love the various Simplex locomotives. Want to make a tin turtle myself one day.

I haven’t thought that far ahead. I really don’t have room for another pizza. Maybe one of these days.
