I saw a steeplecab on Marcs website, http://stdgauge.blogspot.com/ a while back and decided to make one like it. It sits on a #10 frame. Made from 20 gauge mild steel. I've posted some pics in the photo section. I'll put some finished pics on when I get around to taking them and uploading them to my computer. (I'd put them here but I'm lucky that I figured out how to put them there.) Smile

Kirk,
Yea, I'll bring it along to the Syracure event. Along with a couple other home brews that I've been working on. Smile I'll see if I can get some new pics up this weekend.

Thanks for the nice comments guys. Other projects include shorty freight cars from beat up 100 series cars and a couple powered work cars Which are flat cars with cabs. I want to put a crane on the back of one of them but I haven't found the right cabless rotating crane yet.

Great job, Pat! Looks a little like a Knapp or Voltamp. I'll bet it runs good with that Lionel sub-assembly.
