Cool, I can't wait to see the video. ;)

     For deisel 10's claw i would use styrene plastic from a hobby stor and cut it with a X-acto knife. That way you can get it to a good size. If you want to go for an easier approach maybey take the claw off a Thomas toy like the wooden one or Tomy. (I don't know about you but I couldn't bare to dismantle a perfectly good Thomas train. :'()

     For paint the best place to go would be a normal hobby shop, preferably one that sells model cars or boats. They will have the big racks of Testors paint. You can match a color with something else. I would use a wooden Lady or Deisel 10 because they have a nice flat color.  :)

      Hope this helps. ;D

Your welcome ;)

You can find snow at any hobby shop that sells Woodland Scenics most likely. It only comes in one of those big containers and costs 10$ though.

Its kind of funny because just today I was working on my 2x2 foot Chrismas layout and was putting snow on it. (I'll post some pictures hwen it is done :)) Here's where I got the plan if anyones interested. http://thortrains.net/nscale/honey1.html ;)

Eh? whats a western invader? Do you mean use a western class that is called western invader. Well Diesel 10 is real a warship class, Bachmann UK make one and its what henryblue used for his.
