A couple little loco bashes, unpowered, I'll be using the pusher car. This allows me to build whatever odd crazy idea I have without being hamstrung by a complete lack of readily available drive mechanisms. I also allows me to utilize the bunch of loco parts I got from Chris into something useful.
First up Betsy, an HLW Gondola, LGB Porter tank, Bachmann Porter Cab, Lionel smokebox. The stack is the dail from an old radio:
Next is Noname, what started as a short basswood flatcar using the cheap, and I mean really cheap Chinese no name (Hence the name) toy train set. Bachmann Columbia cab, part of a Bachmann sidetank, a plumbing piece and an automotive funnel. Sorry no progress pics on this one, went too fast and i was too lazy:
I may add drives someday, theres a Magic Carpet like drive from Britain that might work well, we'll see.
Have fun with your trains
If you ever attach a yard to the pizza, they can sit there ready for a run. Nice work. (as usual)

I'm planning on being there all day Saturday.
Stop by and say hi. I'm being placed over by the Del Oro guys on the far left of the show, on the plan it looks like Siberia. Oh well, better than sitting at home.
will do.
