Thank You Mikey & Tom. Eventually I want to figure out how I can power it. It may happen and it may not happen. It sure will be a conversation piece as you don't see to many of these on model railroads.

I think the hardest part of this model was getting the little f's on the front of it to designate which is the front of the critter. Other than that the rest of the model was actually pretty fun to build. I would definitely build more of this type of Conrail had more. I know they had others but not as easy as this one. If I'm not mistake I think one was in Conway, Enola, Selkirk and one other yard but I can't remember which one.

great work looks like the scratch building bug has really bitten you welcome to the group. the only thing I can still think of for power on the critter is a gadydancer that you still might be able to find. Though Tenshodo has one in the c notr range.
