Title: Generator Car
Post by: trainmaster on October 31, 2016, 11:46:06 PM

Hi  Folks!
All Railway Companies (or most of them) has a Generator Car. As a botched job in between two "big shots" I created one. For the next engine, a Diesel Engine RhB Gmf 4/4" (the new one) I ordered a Taurus Loco from PICO. I need only the bogies and several parts of this engine. The design of that body is modern and too bad to throw away. So I decided for kit bashing, make a car.
The Bettendorf bogies with the axles I had on stock... (Aristo)

Two days "work" and a little of fantasy: The project is done.

Several small parts I will assemble later, when the post brings this ordered valves, cables and vacuum pipes. Handbrake wheels too.
