Yes, this is the place where the "madness" occurs!!

 

Got a Bachmann Thomas and want to know what decoder fits?

Well, the Z14SR fits inside the cab! Thomas is a pretty easy engine to convert to DCC. The hardest part is drilling the headlight casing to take a GOR bulb! Run the wiring under the "running board" and secure with tacky glue. That way you don't have wiring near his eye mechanism.

Chop noses? Yeah we do em!

Once you do your 1st one, it gets easier. WM35 started life with a high nose, then got it lowered and a front cab wall & windshield scratch built. There are 3 more waiting to be done. Someday.....

Here's the latest from my twisted mind! Can motored, cabless Hustler with its "Master" unit. I'll get better pics after the final detailing and light weathering is done. The gray unit in the backround is a Tyco Alco 430 Century. The chassis under it is a stretched MDC RS3 chassis with a Sagami can. Here it is below, with its new Conrail paint!

Yes, I am somewhat twisted.  What is this creature in the pic above???

Well, lets see, it's the front and an f unit, the back of a u boat, and they upgraded the electrical system so that functionally, it was compatible to any dash 2 unit. So that makes it an FU-2, right ?

     What is really funny at shows when I overhear someone pointing at it and saying, "Heck yeah, I seen dem before, they run dem down in Mixeeco!"

     Sometimes I can get away before they see me laughing, sometimes not!
