Number nine was a GP9, and any smaller switchers I see are good candidates for a loco.
Thanks for asking.

This used an Athearn SW chassis.
It is a great runner and the engine I go to for "Playing trains."
I have since changed that funky headlight.

I am working or a little crane car for the layout.
I like using Bachmann On30 cars as starting points.
This was a caboose chassis with craft sticks glued for the deck.
The crane part was from a toy tow truck and still needs a few parts added and final painting.
The chain was "borrowed" from my wife's jewelry making supplies.
If you need chain for your projects check Amazon for chain.
All sizes and types are very inexpensive.
Thanks for looking.

A page from a "Street Rodder" magazine gave me the gauge faces for my Gn15 engine cabs.
I cover the gauge panels with clear styrene to simulate glass.
Thanks for looking.

Very effective technique.
I have done the same although I used a drop of epoxy to simulate the gauge glass.

My first attempts at gauge faces were done freehand, but I was not really happy.
I now use the image from the magazine.
Here is a first attempt.
