BNSF Hi-Rail Utility Truck

[AJtheTeacher]

Hello G Scale Central Members. I wanted a G scale Hi-Rail utility truck for my man cave layout. I model Santa Fe the Texas Chief, Southern Pacific and D&RGW. I could not find one like the ones that I have seen on our local railroad so I built my own. This is my BNSF Hi-Rail utility. It has a G scale motor block and working, head, tail and emergency bar lights. I am making another with a lifting hook for the Southern Pacific. In the background you can see my Bachmann 4-6-0 Sunbeam.) AJ the newbie

That looks very good.

Thanks. I am not sure whether this qualifies as a kitbash or not. The two main components are a 1/25 scale truck bank (It takes coins) and an Aristo-Craft 0-4-0 switcher. Thanks AJ

whether this qualifies as a kitbash or not.

Definitely qualifies. The front rail wheels aren't original to the truck or the power block.
