Homemade baby 44 tonner?? Would be curious as to what it was before? A caboose body? Looks like a caboose coupla on top. Or was it totally kitbashed from stuff laying around the backshop? Just shows that there is a prototype for everything, some place, somewhere.
IV SEEN ONE OF THISE ON A WEBSITE BEFORE , NORTH AMERICAN TRAIN LIBRARY , THEY HAVE LISTINGS OF ALL THE OLDER LOCOMOTIVES IT WAS USED TO SWITCH HOPPERS FULL OF COAL , THE CUPOLA WAS FOR BETTER VISION
