Quite good indeed! Did the tank come from an ERTL milk tanker?

I don't think so.  Isn't Ertl the same as Take-n-Play? With magnetic couplings? This didn't have magnets. It would be about 15 years old. My son had a lot of mixed Thomas toys.

They don't if you remove the tank, I believe that is an ERTL.
All I want is, Stepney, Boco, Harvey.

It' still impressive either way. :)

I've managed to do a bit more tonight, and the claw is certainly starting to take form.


The Faces: These will be interchangeable, though the left face is going to be painted more accurate!






The Claw/Grabber: Still Working on it currently, but it is looking splendid.




Modified Body: How it looks now with the front removed!

Then it was probably Ertl. I don't think Trackmaster has been around that long.

That's cool! I didn't know that Trackmaster Diesel 10 now has a CGI face :P (then again, I don't collect Trackmaster)
Bachmann never ceases to amaze me :)

long live the GWR, LNER, and the narrow gauge railways

Looking good with the progress so far, Stepney. Personally, I didn't think the Magic Railroad Trackmaster face would ever fit an OO gauge Warship, but it looks like you're on the right track to making it happen...Looking forward to seeing the final product (especially the Magic Railroad version!).

I love how I started the trend of making a warship diesel to match diesel 10's length, I've seen and heard that like 7 people have gotten the inspiration from me I'm glad to know that my ideas spread makes meh feel special :p :3

You don't know how big headed that makes you sound...
Looking good Stepney! Cannot wait to see you progress with this! Any chance of Dodge, Splatter and Lady afterwards?  ;D
