Oh Rocky,
Boy did you pick a topic, I think I have modified or kitbashed every one that I own, I need to take better photos of some of the more modified but I'll post a few here...some of these have been posted elsewhere ...[:D]


one of my LGB Porters has a full cab interior, steps,cut levers,and detail parts added.


an MDC speeder rebuilt as a Critter


an MDC Big Hustler rebuilt with new hood and cab


another MDC BH rebuilt as a centercab with Mack hoods


an LGB Stainz rebuilt along the lines of a Gypsy engine

   Have fun with your trains

When I get the new place and set up a shop for my new part time business in G scale, I will have a sign that'll be like " Will work for and on G scale trains" [:p][:D]

Hi Rocky,
Nice work! That Lil' Critter is really neat. You sure have quite a roster there. With the kids in school I keep tight reigns on my consist. It is growing slowly but I am very grateful for all I have. Keep up the good work! Later eh...Brian.

I was curious how many of you modify your locos other than changing over to kadees ??? Do you add detail parts, change position of horns or modify a loco into something completely different ??? Here are a few of mine [:)][8D]
