It sucks being stuck only at your workbench, all I do is have ideas about new models I dont have room for...like this:
 
 
Yep, another HLW flatcar conversion, but his ones not a geared lokie. Its an LGB Toytrain Atlas drive and boiler mated to the gondola, this one was actually pretty tricky as it required epoxying in a set bolt thru the top of the drive and thru the Gon. Everything dissassembled (sort of) and theirs power pickups in the trailing truck so it has 8 point power pickups so it shouldnt stall on any switches. It takes up roughly the same space as the loco and tender did before but its a bit more...ah...unique? Shock [:O]
 
 
It follows in the family lines of the Class A and the A. C. Price and will be painted similarly, yeah I know theres some of ya's out there that just hates the silver paint scheme, but ya dont seem ta mind them silver Geese now do ya?... jealousy I suspects Wink [;)]Big Smile [:D]
 
 
Just bashed this together to keep my sanity while stuck at home  while we had the floors refinished, boy did that start out as a major league hassle (contractor bailed at last possible minute). Anyway, floors done, I'm repainting the front rooms all this week, figured I could share this and give some of ya a nice chuckle at another Vic-strocityClown [:o)]

   Have fun with your trains

I really like that , looks good and nothing like the original. Nice logging , narrow gauge feel to it.

Man, that looks great Vic! Well done!

At this rate, by the time you get a layout to run 'em on, you'll have more locos than track.
