Here's a shot of the Mogollon Railway's new loco, a gasoline/mechanical end cab double trucker.
#6 is built from 2 Bachmann On30 Davenport mechanisms. The superstructure was scratch built with a few castings. This idea was shown a couple of years back in a RMC article that I saw.

I like the look of that thang too, Woody...[:-bouncy]
Would also like to see some more of your layout. I love the look of that "beaten-up" un-ballasted track!

I will send some more photos soon. The gas/mechanical is my first non-steam loco. The funky track seen in the photo is just a very small segment of the roller coaster funkiness of the Mogollon Railway. I have an ongoing thread on freerails with more photos if anyone is interested.
Woodie-looking for a cool place in the shade. |

Woodie, since the theme for June over in the Photo Gallery is 'Critters', I've posted a copy of your picture there, too.

| Woodie...super looking little critter...last I heard, the Mogollon RR had a bad reputation among diesel salesmen...word was the salesmen would travel there to make a sale, and never be seen again. Guess the boys in the shop finally met one they liked! |
