I thought about bashing two American Flyer Baldwin switcher bodies to create a pseudo-centercab engine much like the CNJ in the picture above.

Great model. I immediately thought of some of the J's old switchers.

My thought as well..wouldn't take much.It would make for an interesting GN switcher for your yard.

Nothing is more fairly distributed than common sense: no one thinks he needs more of it than he already has.

That CN would be an easy custom build with a Lionel 44 tonner

You say there's no such thing? 

Well, there is NOW!

Straight from the shops of the Razorback Traction Company...  ;-)

The pole does operate, and could be wired for overhead if I was so inclined.

Anyhow, enjoy!  :-)

-MMM-
