LIL Hauler bashes,,,,

[Riograndad]

Seems everyone is bashin haulers,my one was done for the grand kids(can we have a go please :`()but they wanted something that looked like the proper trains,not Thomas,so came up with this,must say am pleased with its performance,and they love it,tender loco,3 cars,and caboose done so far.might do some more for them when nothing in the company workshops :-,,,

Nice looking bash. I'm surprised that it can haul the three cars you have in tow, plus the tender.

 

[Riograndad]

Thanks.Yes will pull all four cars plus tender without slipping,cars have interiors,passengers,albeit sparce,in pic white at the windows are curtains ,as said in first post,very pleased,very smooth and quiet,excellent little loco.Since photos taken,been fitted with a LGB fireman.Coal load is removable to allow soundblaster unit,small steam engine sound card works just fine.

Nice job - my LH is awaiting attention - they are great little locos. However, I must say your grand kids are really lucky - I would be happy myself to have it

Niel,
The weathering job certainly lifts this above the average in my mind,superb job all round.

I gather that these little beasties are not in the latest Bachman Cat. Real shame as they have so much bashing potential.

like the otto in the other thread - a really good upgrading!

Great job on the caboose, especially the cupola, I cut the windows in also, why they made it without the cupola windows is just beyond me.

Very nice, what transformation from toy, to a nice model.
