Homemade baby 44 tonner?? Confused 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.

I'd like to see some details on this one. What was the prime mover and certainly where did that most .... unusual .... carbody come from?

Still looks better than a B23-7 with the Family Lines safety cabs!

Martin, cool photo!

Jonathan,

The only thing that sheds light on the matter is that this was "shop built"

Yours isn't all that different from some of the Galloping Geese of Rio Grande Southern fame, Jeff.
