Just bought a wind-up Rail Zeppelin on ebay, anyone remember wich issue of CTT has the converson to powered? Thanks
According to this site’s magazine index and my somewhat foggy memory - it was May 2006, pg. 46. Motorizing a Rail Zeppelin by Philip K. Denslow.

I got one last week too -the all-silver version. This one would let me turn up some tabs and essentially drop in a gang-crew engine. Have to look for one. But I think I’ll run it with the wind-up key for a while - I’m going to give it to myself for Christmas.
