A dinosaur caught in the act of stealing a locomotive?

Here's another Tyco F7.

Chops, harness up that dinosaur like John Allen did. It'll make a good A-unit to go with the F7B.

My LOTW is this modified Rivarossi Dockside.



I found an old Dockside with the full valve gear and upgraded it with some more details such as pop valves and a whistle on the steam dome, Kadee couplers, uncoupling levers, a little bit better air pump, an oil hatch on the fuel tank and a dynamo for the headlight. Its' still not contest quality, but it looks a bit less spartan than the stock locomotive. The running boards on the pilots were broken off, so I made some brass replacements.

Carpe Manana!

That Docksider was one of my first loco's. Always loved that piece.
You did a marvelous job on it.
