Good example of making a silk purse out of a sows ear! Nice job-TM

Thanks Thomas. I used a Asashi doner that was bent up and had some parts missing. No good units were sacrificed for this project.

Nice job. I wish my parents hadn't thrown out some of my old tin toys! I like to do crazy things like this.

I'm always looking at toys, especially tin to see if they are sized right to modify. These Super Atom Train Mountain Express Asahi Tin Toys can be tough to find and a little pricey. Got this one cheap because it was bent and missing some parts.

Thanks Walt. It's getting closer to ready to button up the shell. Got a head light wired in last night. A few more little things and it will be done. It has a very small motor from a K-Line speeder, but had been pulling 17 Marx six inch box cars fairly well.

HI Steve

I always enjoy your projects and this one is really different. Can't wait to see it pulling a long train. god Bless walt407

Thanks Brian. It will get a little better as I finish it. I just wish the Sound Commander had a timed battery back up to eliminate the chatter at low voltage, but they are really designed for command control systems that operate a high voltage all the time. Still a bargain system.
