Brian Austin Posted February 21, 2023 Posted February 21, 2023 Last year I dug out some model railroad projects I had started in the late 1980s. In its rough condition I displayed it at the Classic Plastic show. As you can see here it is edging closer to completion. It is constructed of Evergreen styrene, with a modified TYCO/Mantua HO scale locomotive drive for propulsion. With the cab in the center, this type of electric loco is called a "steeplecab". 1 Quote

Brian Austin Posted February 22, 2023 Author Posted February 22, 2023 That's pretty imaginative! Quote
Lucius Molchany Posted February 26, 2023 Posted February 26, 2023 Thanks! It is powered by a Lionel 0-4-0 drive unit! Quote
Brian Austin Posted May 18, 2023 Author Posted May 18, 2023 Update! Some details remain to be sorted out such as headlights, bell and cab interior, but I did get some paint on it. 1 Quote
