Lgb rail truck “galloping swoosh”

[stevedenver]

I took a NOS lgb convention rail truck, below, that i thought rather awful looking.
And tried an RGS style characature of goose #6. ‘Swoosh’ was what the RGS called the work goose, a cross between goose and swan…

I added working headlights, directional roof light, and directional red/white tail light. Perhaps soon, sound too.

I like it. These little things run wonderfully. The rear bumper also acts as a ‘loop’, as its the perfect height to hold a lgb hook.

RGS's secret "Little Deuce Flatbed" hot rod. Does the 1/4 mile strip, yard to station, in 10.3. Could hole shot and shut down #455 anytime. Founder of the NRRHRA. Love it, nice work.

Deffo very smart. I have an unmodded one that warrants alterations but it's never got to the top of the list (yet). I'm intrigued by the snow plough on the front. Was that something LGB did or have you added that. If the latter are you up for sharing how, please?
