Intriguing...

Now I'm wondering if that old fashioned shell...

...will fit onto my powered loco?

Jeez... would you cut that out?
You trying to get me hooked on On30?

I'm already fully committed to HO.

By the way, I'm working on another little scooter...

It's still in pieces... but I'm sure you get the general idea.

Finished up the little logging caboose...

Decided to put a 50 year old Model Engineering Works logging truck to match the equally old log buggies. One of the brake wheels popped off, and I still haven't found where it went yet...

Working on a short heavy duty 12 wheeler flat car...

The seam still needs finishing and some Kadees...

Looks like someone is having to much fun, now you need some huge/heavy load to sit on it.

Wow that is a wee short caboose!
Did you shorten the toilet into a urinal too?

 

[diburning]

Urinal? You mean a hole in the floor

I want to have a go at modelling one of these truly unique Japanese logging cabooses...

...the Japanese are some of the most incredible train modellers I've ever seen!

I picked up an old fashioned switcher shell kit off ebay...

...and am going to see if I can put some small platforms on each side and mount it onto a truck.

Tooter inspiration?

Some of those steamers look like what they use in the new Thomas series for Sir Topham Hatt's Narrow Gauge Railway.

Working on another tooter scooter... a little Japanese logging caboose.

It's still in the rough stage and needs gluing, paint, railings, and brake wheel. The shell is an EMD SW-1 cab.

A challenge for Greg

Could you make the green critter a little bit shorter?

[tooter]

Wow... that's really cool for N gauge.
It looks powered...

...but $50?!

 

[tooter]

Put a coat of paint on the little scooter...

By the way, I'm not advertising for any of these people.

 

[tooter]

No problem, Dad... I didn't think you were. Those trains do live up to the name of the website... Priceless.

Put railings on the logging caboose...

...and an old fashioned Kadee #440 metal brake wheel.

 

[tooter]

Found some more pics of that little N gauge scooter...

A very intriguing idea...

 

[diburning]

How do you fit a motor into something like that?
