A Mehano Century 430 with modifications. Most recently I made a more prototypical looking tank out of plastic sheet and tubing. I have filled the pilots, body mounted the knuckle couplers, added a brass horn and cast plow, both wrong for this loco but looks good. I also repaced the motor and made drive shafts and added lights at both ends. It will get repainted some day.
The custom DB is from Hypoponera.

Hi All,
Here is a picture of the other Pennsy 430 loco, the first one GIC won on ebay. The second was advertised here, it came with a bad motor. I had a spare motor and it is alive and running well.

Here are a few pics of the nut,and bolt shelves I painted.
I used to use these to display some of my Hot Wheels,and Matchbox collection.
Then I realized I could use them to display some of my HO train stuff.
