I had to show this brain spasm I had off. What if we needed to go back to steam (not a bad idea)? Would it be possible? :-? Called "Steamy Pete". It is a 1955 Pete body and frame with brass trim. The rear wheels are driven from the inside by a locomotive steam setup. The boiler and all that good stuff is under the hood and the brass plated stacks would be the Smoke stacks. (duh) : :). The airhorns would some how act as the steam whistle and it has heavy duty cast iron wheels. The fuel tanks would be the water source and the driver's side tank back 1/4 would be for kerosene. The lights are all old brass style kerosene, converted to electrical. Pulling a 4-4-4 on a lowboy. I did this in about 2 hours.
