    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.

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

    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.
