Look at what I found in new listings from SQUADRON shop...
I intend to send them some dinero for one or two of these kits!!!

A WW2 US tractor, a 1:35 scale Case VAI to be exact.
I have wanted a tractor or two for my layout for a long time,
yep, there are 1:32 die cast tractors available for $$$$$
But until now, I haven't found one cheap ($25 USD) and this thing can be "modified",
to become the basis for rail tractors and other neat critters.
Kit #THM35001 can be seen on Squadron's website.
I have ordered from them and they get stuff to me quickly.
Imagine using the upper part for the rail tractor, etc.
and having wheels and big tires left over for cool junque.
Or maybe the whole thing rusted out and sitting in a field with a "for sale" sign.
The mind boggles!
So, here is an inexpensive Christmas present that Santa can bring you...

I bought one awhile back. 20.00 from China on eBay.
I will post some pictures of the contents of the kit if you like.
I was thinking Fordson type critter.
There is another with a front end loader attachment.

Stephen, yes, please post a photo or two.
I never look at fleabay so I miss a lot.
This looks quite similar to a Fordson and since it's plastic and cheap,
I feel better about whacking it apart to make something I want.
The loader model would be very cool also... More junk to set around!

I would think if it was used on a logging line,
a log would be slung between the rear end of the rail tractor and a disconnect,
giving some traction to the loco.
This method was used on a number of tramlines.
