usual browsing on ebay and found something weirder than that mantua camelback last week!
 a bachmann 0-6-6-0?!! I dont know how or why someone would make this! Its a turnoff with the dual smokestack if it looked like one boiler i'd like it. Seems i'm finding weirder things each week!
 It's for sale for $!
item number-300730275560
I cant imagine this thing can take corners 
I buy, repair, and collect

That's not a kitbash, it's a rear-end collision. 
He ground the flanges off 2 sets of drivers I see, so it's good for the motors and the undamaged drivers, and that's about it.

I just don't see the point of this  it will never take a corner cause it's all one piece well someone will win the bid and do something with it.

Thats a poor view of a "bash" sadly, the boilers are rediculous, to begin with! (I can't even think of why as the "double stacks" are well...... as you see, WAY to many Sand Domes in there, and then to add 2 steam domes too?
Yeah, Nelson, I agree, don't drink and bash.....Man with that one, you said a mouth full!

Did anyone else see the engine(s) in the second picture giving the viewer the "finger" with the driving rod? Like the loco is saying " OMG, what have you DONE to me, Screw you! "
I just saw this image and had to laugh, after the comments made about the poor kit-bash.

good one jerry! I agree this was a poor design with the double smokestack and dual sand domes. The only way 'd ever like this is if the boiler was made as one piece or at least look like it was. Plus as i said it will not bend around a corner such as a mantua making this not suitable

This "kitbash" MIGHT have been saved if they had taken out the rear two doors, or made it into a P/U bed. As it is, it is a laughable chop job, while unique, the taste leaves quite a bit to be desired.

Some people are very diligent at being tasteless, weird, buffoons. That Truck-Am took a lot of effort to build. The bondo sculptures between the two ends took real talent
The Siamese twin 0-6-0, is a result of somebody with time but, no ability or desire to think things through.
If I'm not mistaken the boilers are different diameters where they plug together.
Dual stacks, half a firebox on the lead engine, dual bells and whistles.
Unspoken expectations are premeditated failures.

Actually they took the time to swap around existing drivers on it, those come with the middle one blind.
A guy here who sells at the shows got an estate or collection with a lot of stuff along those lines, boxcab diesel made out of dockside switcher bodies, stuff just combined together into one long car with no rhyme or reason... ruined a couple Gilbert cars in the hacking there.
We saw one on eBay along these lines a while back too. It looked like two F7 shells back to back with long platforms on each end and two pair of trucks on the platforms. Tried to win it just to see how goofy it was.
