It’s just too cool, one of the most beautiful replications I’ve ever seen & it’s not even finished :exploding_head:

Don’t worry about it, your project’s a weaning pup compared to my current geriatric one :roll_eyes:

This is very close to completion with just the couplers and wheels to install. And then the base :desert_island:

Hi KSO,

As has been stated, this is a remarkable build! Looks fantastic!

Funny, coincidentally one of the regular ads that pops up on this site for me is Ritchie Bros, and this time, voila! your next project popped up:

Railcar mover 1

railcar mover 2

What a treat! an articulated rail car mover! Perfect! :smile:

Looking forward to your next update.
