Thanks, Went to San Val yesterday, picked up a Mack and last night switched the block over (after bending the light post to fit the new cab). So its done done done!
PS I've also packed away the Mack body , so the devil wont tempt me again with yet another bash opportunity.
Have fun with your trains
bravo!
Great bash. There are hundreds of similar locos all over the world. Here are just 3 from Taiwan's man 2' gauge lines, one of the areas I'm modeling (I've ridden narrow gauge in Taiwan about 30 years ago)
Done...well it still needs a drive brick but what the hey, thats a minor note, right?

Last week I had no plans whatsoever for another lokie, but I got to playing with spare parts and well one thing lead to another.... but this was fun and now I have to make room for another critter in the barn
Weathering is just paint layers of different colors applied with a drybrush technic, takes a little practice but its fairly easy to learn
The Generator is a fairly common load item, I got mine at the BTS from Bridgemasters if I remember right, I think its from USA Trains.
Whoever said kitbashing was hard?
The head is gray, hands don't work , back is weak, legs give out, eyes are gone, money go's and my wife still love's Me.
Bit more progress this weekend
Grungezilla?

Maybe I should actually look around to finding a Mack motorblock for this thingy

Nope, just the normal madness , we arent doing the turkey thing till tommorow, and then its going to be Cuban style pork
This was a stupidly simple bash:
Take a HLW chassis, a spare cab from a scrapped cheepo Scientific loco, and a generator load model....
Still need to add some more details and paint to my tastes.
