Images of a similar beast belonging to the Ludlow & Southern can be located on the web.
In fact, the image was posted on Freerails a while back.
I thought this creation was unique and interesting enough to merit building my own.
This started as a Bachmann Anniversary Ten Wheeler,
styrene and brass and wood was added to build the super structure.
The Fuel tank carries ballast, the flywheel is driven via Serv-O-Link chains and sprockets,
that pick up power from the blind center driver and a rubber tire.
Since only one photo exists of this monster,
I add libbed, using my Modeler's License, to fill in the blanks.
Hope you like it.
Don

Great job,
I've seen that photo before but that's the first model I've seen.

Hello Lee,
Thank you very much.
It was used in the Mojave desert in California.
It worked on the Ludlow and Southern Railroad.
I think one of the notes indicated that it had a very short life.

Very nice Doug!
It is very accurate as a rusting hulk, especially considering that is what it was in real life.
Too much fun!

Now that, really, these, both of the models, G and HO, qualify as some serious coolness.
