This joke has been around for about ten years now. It is one terrific puller--I've never had anything come close. It had lots of room for DCC, and even a third powered truck.

Here is my unusual motive power!  I did not build any of it though.  Adam-Drasko found the turbines for me in obscure hobbie shops and the NP challanger I got off of Ebay for $100 and only needs 15 minutes of work.....Sweet deal!

Is that the UP steam turbine I see back there?

Altoona Northern boxcab "oil-electric" cobbled together from some Bachmann cabeese and a Kato mech. Roof details came from a Alco PA shell. I forget where I got the radiators from. Still needs pilots and couplers...

Leggy, the G-12 was built moons ago using a Roco European chassis and one of the original Atlas/Roco GP-9s for the shell.  It was chopped to death to make it the right size.  Would do it differently now.

SD24B. Old picture, it's complete now and waiting for the roundtuit for paint:



Don't have pix handy of my two Hallmark GP30B's, or similar GP9B kitbash.

Hmm. Did I ever mention I have a thing for hood-type B units?  :trollface:

I do sorta, have a GP9B, two B30-7As in the works, and looking for the "parts" to do an SD40-2B.

Would like to do all 3 BN SD40-2Bs, however, BN being BN, no two are the same.

Conrail U25C Phase III.  It was kitbashed from Ron's Phase I ex-L&N Oro Dam original kitbash, with his blessing.
