Borracho Locomotive Works, latest dismal projects ready for service:
1st up a rather simple project, a standard HLW Mack chassis and 2 cab/roofs cut together. this will be a little workhorse for the portables as well as the main layout

This one still needs a full interior, theres a motor block in side but I'm waiting till we get a little deeper into winter so I have something to do once the rains start.
Next is a little more off the deep end, OK way off the deep end....OK way WAY but its Jerry Barnes fault for giving me the idea:
Another Mack chassis but this one uses the noses from 2 LGB F7 shells

The pilots are scratch builtand the interior has a basic cab configuration, I cut the door higher so its 1/22ish. I was lucky enough to cut and attach the F7 shells as to not require a repaint. I might add more detail as I go but for now I like the end results. I know for sure the HLW will work on all layouts, this one I know will be fine on the fixed layout, but it will be interesting to see how it gets on with the portables. Testing? whats that???
