It's been a while since I posted a LOW. Figured it's time to show off my C430's. Both are immaculate and have the handrails.
If you are not having fun, you are not doing it right.

My beat up Mantua booster. This is the last piece of equipment I have from my early HO days. My Dad assembled this for me almost 25 years ago now. The engineer's side driver screw and spacer is gone (lost while running it on a museum layout), and the front engineer's pilot step and the rear roof are damaged because of a fall from my train table many moons ago. Not sure how the fireman's side rod got bent. This little loco needs some TLC (and a couple parts) 
Regards,
Dan MacKellar

I like it too Dan
Would be good as a abandoned loco or one in the scrap yard OR on a low budget shortline

Those a pretty close to my favorite locos to kitbash there Dan!
Those screws & spacers are troublesome. Sen me your address. I'll send you one in the mail. I'll also send you a wrench to tighten it.
Make sure they are both tight and the crank rod is positioned properly and you'll be golden.
Here are two of my past kit-bashes:

Love the kitbashes!
I just stripped the little beast down for the first time since she was built. Pretty grimy...

This is a Red Ball H-16-44 I bought for $20. (Basket case)
It looks alot better with the old paint job removed and put back together.

I'd certainly give you $20 for it! Think I would have to paint it as an AC&Y loco.

Here is my brass pennsy decapod. It sat on a display track for more then 30+ yrs. My friends father worked for the Pennsy railroad as it is why its detailed in pennsy colors. It runs good as I just cleaned it up and did the usual maintenance on it.

ZVickers,
It found an appreciative home!
Caboose1,
It is neither. It was a custom, maybe done before the AHM BL2. I thought it was cool.
