I dunno, Ed, but that looks like a kitbash that went wrong at an early stage, and continued to go downhill as the builder thought of new things to add-on.

WOW! Just spectacular! Thanks for sharing that. That's what a real train should look like, not the homogenized versions we have today.

This is my favourite thread on BigBlue---thanks to all the great contributors.
Spreading ballast, June 1, 1998 on the Kiski Junction. I was running the locomotive. The contractor was trying to keep the door open partially with a come along so it would come out slow. Note the tie in front of the rear wheels which would slide and smooth out the ballast. One of 2 times we had a contractor do any track work and even with the grants, we did labor to cover our portion of the cost. [
