Thanks guys. It’s been a fun creative process. Basically keeping busy waiting to get the next dio started…going to be a multi structure/multi kit big ‘ol dio. Hopefully one of these critters will make it in a scene. I have a fun idea in mind with this.

Thanks guys. This is the answer to the question "what can I do with my extra Dolbeer and logging disconnect". A bobber caboose next??

Great work Bryan. I am sure they were fun projects. I bet No.2 would be a challenge to engineer.

Very nice!

So I turned it into all-wheel drive. Looks like I missed the teeth on the rear/left gear. Not going back to fix that because it was such a pain to install and is not noticeable without closeups.

I'm trying to decide whether to give a weather cover on this one. Leaning towards not but I put in some posts just to mock it up. I'm going to fill up the tender with some split wood, tools, and a water pump then set it aside for a while.

Very ingenious and well executed modeling Bryan. Nicely finished throughout.

randyp

Bryan, please don't cover up all the detail with a cover.

Thanks Karl. Randy you are right. Leaving it as it is closely resembles the first pic in this thread and really what I was trying to accomplish.

randyp

Well Bryan, I for one think you accomplished your goal. nice work.

Joel

Great little build. Really cool modelling.

brownbr

Thanks Joel.

I tricked out the tender a bit with a wall patch and loaded it up with water, wood, tools, etc. Added a running board on the loco to access the controls. Time to set this aside for now.

Is that orange wire an outdoor extension cord? LOL. Great craftsmanship!

TomMich

Very nice!

Plug and play for sure. Ha. It’s a braided hose. Kind of like a fire hose. I was going to paint it but left them red. Once it is set in place I’ll secure the hose from the pump to the boiler.
