Hi. 'nuther one cleared off my bench...

This started as an LGB flatcar, and HLW Mack cab and an A/C brick with a broken axle, still worked fine so....


This one got an interior as well.


The front truck is made of two trailing wheels from a Bmann 2-4-2 and have power pick ups so all axles are pulling power. A little weatherings all thats left...

I like it. Is the radator a molded part of the cab?

The radiator is from the Mack hood, I just cut off the hood portion and kept the radiator, I added sheet styrene and a screen mesh to the face.

Again, another one of "Vics RR Inc." and they always look great man!

Have to ask why did they paint the inside of the cabs a nasty green?

Vic;

Just one simple question.  Which do you have more of (1) handcrafted motive powered masterpieces of (2) footage of track in the dirt?  Looks to me as if you just might have at least three handcrafted engines for every foot of track!
