I hope it is OK for everyone to post their cars/engines. I hate to step on anyone's toes here.. Not wanting to Hi-jack your post Ken.
Here is mine:
It was rebuilt by a friend of mine for me. It started off like this:
/tyco/forum/uploaded/Mustangs_n_Trains/20110715102430_5139556244_940185a74e_o.jpg
After combining two different Samhongsa articulated, I ended up with one a NP Z-8 4-6-6-4 Challenger made by Samhongsa of Korea. Here is the finished engine:

If anyone cares to see the entire series of 115 photos taken throughout the rebuild, check them out here:

The Pine Tree Express! This is a Stewart Hobbies Maine Central F5... or a phase 1 early F7... or an F3 phase 4 - It's all much the same thing really. Installing a front coupler was the only work needed and luckily, about my skill level. It's a solid and steady running locomotive if a little noisy. Trees are cool...
