Title: A new look for the Rail Truck
Post by: Bruce Chandler on December 08, 2007, 12:02:11 PM
My light inspection cars were great for summer cruising, but the crew really wanted something a little warmer for the cold weather and those rainy days.   

Inspired by the East Broad Top M-3 motorcar, I set off to build an enclosed motor car.

I started with the Bachmann rail truck, and just cut away everything that looked like it didn't belong.

Then I built up a body out of styrene, and now I have my interpretation of the M-3.
