OK so Friday I took a notion to work on a Large Scale project. I decided to build a pair of 4 wheel boxcab locos to switch the gunpowder mill at Anns Creek , while Internal Combustion is just a fad, and it will never catch on, open flame steamers and gunpowder do not mix. I had a Centercab Critter that I got back in 2001 at the Cincy convention, and its power trucks were donated for the project. After dropping them from the frame, I constructed a new chasis from .060 styrene to slip over the blocks.
Assorted details bits are added to the frames. and a superstructure will be built on top of them. One unit will carry batteries whilst the other the electronics and traction weight.
