This one was originally a Santa Fe locomotive, with a huge eight-axle tender. I shortened the tender, then used part of a covered hopper to change it into a centipede-type. The centipede bed used the cut-up and re-assembled original sideframes, with a homemade overlay of styrene, traced from a photo ad in MR for a brass Niagara...
It went to a friend in Wisconsin some years ago.

Some years ago, I picked up two of these MDC tender kits for a very reasonable price, and already had the bodyshell (but no cast metal underframe) of another one, acquired much earlier.I decided to make them into MoW water cars - one each for a couple of fellow modellers, and one for myself. They're supposedly equipped with a gasoline-powered pump in what was formerly the coal bunker, now completely covered and equipped with a door.
This one's for a friend's freelanced late '20s-era layout...
...this one for another friend's '50s-era CNR layout...
...and the bodyshell-only one, with lots of lead-weights added, for my own EG&E late '30s layout...
While mine is more-or-less the same as the other two, one of the carshop's employees suggested that if the coal bunker were slightly modified, it could double, in the winter, as a covered tender for MoW equipment that was coal-powered (mostly cranes and rotary plows). In theory, the pump would be temporarily removed, and the coal bunker loaded from any coaling tower, with the roof keeping the coal both dry and not frozen into a solid block.
It's probably an improbable scenario, but I liked the idea of making it look just a bit unique, no matter how far-fetched it might be...
Please show us your somewhat whimsical rolling stock creations.
