I wish Lionel made articulating engines like this from factory. Like the 736, 773, & 2056.

The rounded front makes it look like a big sausage! LOL Keep up the awesome work!

Fantastic, Dave, I positively covet that engine (& the whole set, for that matter!) A one-of-a-kind and a beauty. Joshua Lionel Cowen would've really enjoyed both your inventiveness and the finished product. Enjoy running that handsome monster!

Crazy & amazing work. Unbelievable. I’m almost sad that you had to cut up vintage Tinplate locos but you created something one of a kind.
