    This is what happens when you let your imagination have some beers. http://www.click

    Built out of an old car windscreen washer pump, a motor out of a printer, a flangless driver wheel from an old Bachmann steam loco, part of a steam loco body with the backhead from the Bachmann loco plus bits of wood and paddle pop sticks/coffee stirrers.
    There are more pictures but I can't seem to post more than 1 at a time.

    Great model - see the advantages of drink, now if you had had another tipple or two, it may have even been a fully functional model :avatar:

    As for posting photo's - try this it should hopefully explain

    :gday:Some pictures of the "Power Wagon" not sure if I mentioned it before but the chassis I used is built from MDF, bits of wood cut up by a mate on his bandsaw and styrene (the springs are from SWMBO clothes pegas), the only commercial parts are the wheels and the couplers and of course the boiler and backhead.
    I have other wagons recently built which I will put pictures of on as time permits.
    Cross to the Dark Side of the hobby and you will never look back, actually you can see things without squinting or using a magnifier.
    Yeah I know Hat, Coat, Door :avatar::avatar:
