Love my "Can Opener." Fresh from the Chop Shop, shopped by Chop with a "new"
30 year old MU2 motor, as suggested by Kristopher. Runs great!

Well Jeff, you got high speed photography down to a art form. I am trying to be nice. It is hard.
* Was that a moving train, or are your hands just shaking?
* Is the yellow truck going faster in reverse ?
* I seen on certain Si-Fi films where a effected person head shakes like that just before it explodes. Did the F9 explode?

The Tyco Zephyr
I posted this a while ago but I had not wired it up. This weekend I decided to work on the motor and get it running. I really like how it turned out.

Whoops, I should have said this is a kitbash. Tyco never made this. Here is my original post:
http://www.tycoforums.com/tyco/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=10862
If Tyco had made a Zephyr I'm sure they would have sold a ton of them.

Lovin' that Berkshire, Justin. It's almost Erie how good it looks. (Yes, I know, I made that joke on the other board. But I had to inflict it on this one's denizens too)
Cool Zephyr kitbash, Redwoods. Yeah, if there'd been an official one by Tyco it would have doubtlessly been a hot seller

My LOTW is this PC 430. Nice color on this one. Somewhere in it's lifetime it got it's handrails painted. I like the paint but I don't think that is prototypical. I don't think PC ever did their motive power in this scheme other than the F units.

I learn as I go, Tyco would have had a winner if they had pulled this off.
Astonishly well done kitbash. I wish I had half that skill set.
