A while back a fellow hobbyist sent me a really scruffy set of 5th gen Bachmann Big Hauler drivers, gearbox and motor. I had a nos Delton c-16 chassis here as well. So I stuck the two together. !(http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt7/tigerlillie06/His Stuff/P1120023.jpg)
Added a Bachmann smokebox and $2 worth of pvc!(http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt7/tigerlillie06/His Stuff/P1130023.jpg)
A mixture of Bachmann and Kalamazoo domes, a c-16 cab, and custom rods made from brass box and c-16 bits. !(http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt7/tigerlillie06/His Stuff/P1010020_02.jpg)
It started out to be an 0-6-0, but since I don’t have any yards to switch, I decided that a Mogul would be more useful. I found this pic of a H.K. Porter, and decided to shorten mine up similarly
The tender is a Delton one that I had previously cut the flare off for another project. I made new extensions from brass and B’mann running boards ala D&RGW K-27 #463s only smaller.
Since this one will be battery op, I chopped a hole in the tender deck to mount a box with the charge jack and on/off switch.
And the air tank makes a nice cover
Did I say plow? I should have said P-L-O-W!!! As in an Aristo-Craft replacement blade from
