Normally I don’t create threads like this, but I think this merits sharing. This has got to be the most wacko[oops]----uh I mean “unusual” kitbash I’ve ever seen!
1. So, would the prime mover be inside?
2. What would you call it??? “Cramtrak”?[%-)][:o)][:P][D)]
3. Looks like something that the penguins from the “Madegascar” movie would put together. [(-D]
Wow! A lot of effort went into that, and some thought.
"Looks like somthing that the penguins from the “Madegascar” movie
would put together."
My thoughts exactly!
What the…
That is wierd. I wonder what the person was thinking when they did this.
I’m guessing something along the lines of Articulated streamliner, Zephyr style. I like that. No money now, but I like that. Saves the pictures
I doubt it will be gone anytime soon except maybe the dumpster. I can’t believe the junk I see on that auction place.

He was probably thinking “Hey! I wonder what the penguins from Madagascar would do with all this stuff!?!?!?” Even after that movie I still like penguins. My favorite penguin themed movie scene involves Jessica Alba and a pair of pink pantys but, I wanna get it G rated and I think that movie was PG13. Not to mention I can’t think of the tittle [%-)][:-^]
Thats just wrong on so many levels, like the aftermath of a bad train wreck. I saw a coupled together engine at the Timonium show a few years a go that a guy was tryinng to sell. It was 3 or 4 SD70’s put together. It may have looked some what believeable if he had bothered to line up all the seems etc. but it did generate a lot of interest from the crowd.
sickness will surely take the mind where minds can not usually go.

Good luck chuck would be the name of the movie you speak of.
Pics are gone. 
It’s kinda funky…but I like it. [:P]

Clearly, the seller has this lot priced way too high, but at least he admits (at the bottom of the listing) that it is junk and probably only good for parts. Based on some listings I have seen from sellers that are either poorly informed or outright swindlers, I wouldn’t have been surprised to see this lot listed as “vintage”, “custom”, “hand built”, “rare”, etc . . . with a price twice as high!

A… well a late model “Doodlebug”?
That’s just plain “wrong”…
And I bet someone will buy it…
I love it man, those are FUN to create. I’ve made a few, though they weren’t powered. It’s fun to jsut create a watchamacallit once in a while and let your imagination take over the build. And in the end it looks cool as heck.
Well that’s just wrong.
Makes me miss the old “AWNUTS” model railroad magazine, that was one of my favorites. They’d have loved this !!
(Always Whimsical, Not Usually To Scale).
It’s amtrak’s answer to all those back-seat engineers…
This is for all the guys who complain about not having a safe place to ride in when in push pull mode!No? ok then Dr Frankenstein and Gomex Adams got togther for tea and cakes one day and…
Was a nice diversion. BTW Stix Awnuts II is a yahoo group based on that magazine.
OH MY GOD!!! i hope my wife does not see this… she would buy it for my birthday and i would be forced to run it when my friends showed up and have to show them how much i love the present…ARRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHH !!! SHOOT ME NOWWWWWWW
Actually, 74 is about right for the three Veiwliners, and the stoarage car, let alone the articulated superliner
