John Teresi Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) Hello......this is on my workbench..........it`s a Jet Train.......these are pictures of what I kinda want to build.........but, with my own twist on it........I am starting with a AMT The General Steam Locomotive........and parts from my parts box.......thanks for looking Edited February 9, 2018 by John Teresi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooneyzs Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Johnny boy.... this is going to be a really cool project. Can't wait to see what you do to it with the Teresi twist. It will be awesome!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Interesting for sure. LEGO makes a pilot (cow catcher) that might be a better choice.....smaller than the General pilot. Check Brick Owl or ebay for it alone. (so you don't have to buy a set) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gasser59 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Man, I wasn't sure about the stance when I was studying the first picture. Things look mighty nice in the rest of them though. Looking spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6bblbird Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Just heard the other day that K.C. Jones lost both of those cars to a trailer fire and will most likely retire. He always put on a great show. WF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Wilson Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 John, another great one on the bench. I'm sure you have a jet engine in mind, but just in case I've got a couple of these laying around I could send you. Let me know. I can't wait to see how this one turns out.

It was a shop fire and lost race cars, trailer, toter home and equipment inside shop. It happened last October. And you are correct he is not rebuilding the dragsters. He does have a wheelstander that he says he is going to run on a limited schedule. John the mock up looks awesome, can't wait to see the next installment of your build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
