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.

The Bachmann Anniversary Edition 10 wheeler  was the first locomotive that I bought for the Jackson & Burke Railroad (http://www.jbrr.com/).  While I liked it a lot, after awhile, it never fit in with my 1:20 roster.

Earlier, I had upscaled a 10 wheeler to 1:20, and I didn't want to do the same thing again:


I decided to make the 10 wheeler into a 1:20 Mogul.   I had it out on the layout today for some pictures.    I'm very pleased with how it turned out, and it runs just great!
