Here's the Erie Northshore's "Bee", named for both the colour scheme and the sound it makes:

 

The body is a modified Rivarossi combine, with the front truck, frame and fuel tank from an Athearn F7.  Lots of detail parts from Cal-Scale, Detail Associates, Details West, Model Die Casting, New England Rail Services, and Precision Scale.  The pilot is from a Bachmann Santa Fe 4-8-4.  Power (to the front truck only) is by Mashima, with two-rail current collection also by the rear truck.  She can haul quite a few more cars than any prototype doodlebug ever did.

 

Show me a piece of snow removal equipment - anything from a snow shovel to a rotary plow.

BTW Ken, it is a bit of a stretch to call your platforms a car!

 

Guess which is the fastest?

 

Show me your best slow speed performer?

Oops, just saw scratch built and jump the gun. I could add wheels?

 Far as slow seed?

 PCM Y6 B with a Loksound 3.5 decoder. Simon has seen this engine creep at 1% power up a grade pulling 40 plus cars. It is truly amazing.

 Show me your favorite picture.
