Aster 3 truck Climax

Here is my Christmas present to myself, thanks to a generous bonus from my employer. Nice old Aster 3 truck Climax geared logging locomotive. Been sitting for many years and having a few ailments from that down time. But she moved under steam on the rolling road last night for the first time. Still have a few more bugs to work out before she gets track time. This thing is a beast and very powerful. Mike

Here are some more photogenic pics of the Climax, now sporting her road name, number and "Climax" cab lettering. All cut vinyl decals a friend made for me.
