I know, the couplers retract so the train can push cars out of its way at the crossings!

Hi Vic

Sorry but its the wrong colour for a start it should be Black.

If you have a section of coach body you could mount instead of the section of freight car it could be the directors inspection saloon.

The drivers access would be the unobstructed front door.

The veranda end of a toy train coach body would do the trick for the directors saloon bit Err I think.

The side sheeting is so the coupling rods cannot chew up the director or scare his horse

So the axel box mouldings need to go and some lift up flaps need to be scored on to that bit with some lift handles

regards John

That's all the loco Ttrigg could afford to buy from the Smith Engine Works after TJ burned down his woodlands!

Hey its MY railroad and I'll paint it any color I darn well feel like...ya should just be glad I ran out of pink!

Hi Vic

So that is why the nice lady driver walked out, you did not have the right shade of pink paint

I'll have you know my forest are growing just nicely.  

The expansion of the mountain went well and will be starting on the trestles to get the trolley up to the top of the falls shortly. SWMBO decreed that a plateau needed to be built to accept a hotel and visitors center atop the falls.

Vic, you could always send it down this way to push the occasional shorty passenger car up to the falls.

I think that in some hazy memory, you saw a tram locomotive. In many communities where they didn't spring for the expense of electricity, street railways ran heavily-skirted locomotives to stop citizens from getting caught up in the motion. Your locomotive outline gives me that feel. But as you've noted, it's your railway, build what you want!

Vic mate i like it; reminds me of my ex mother in law. Is that the right title she is the mother of my ex wife?

Ian, you are correct in the ex-definition, but I dont know how to interpret your statement...seeing that I see this lokie being akin to an armor plated rhinocerous

My own mom-in-law was a real sweetheart, God rest her soul

Vic;

I have had the equivalent of 3 mother in laws and the best of them was a troublemaking liar. So i guess you were luckier than me. I have been married twice and before that i had a long term relationship with a fiance.

The best of them was my first wifes mother although she was what i said she was she was also pretty good to me as well. She is still alive and would be 90 or there abouts.
