koalayummies Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 Went to a train museum recently and saw one of the funniest looking vehicles ever. The museum featured mostly old steam locomotives and rail cars but off to the side was a curious and hilariously tiny little box of a rail vehicle. Didn't know anything about them until searching and decided to make a build inspired by these little old maintenance vehicles. Very loosely based off the one seen which was a tan and rusty Fairmont A4E. Railroad Speeder! They do look pretty amusing to operate Checking on some defect detectors Quote

greg3 Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 Very cool!! I'm actually working on something similar - a World War 1 era speeder for my trench railway (it looks like a motorised picnic table!!) Loving your build though - great scenery too!! Quote
3797 Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 Well done. Trying to fit a motor in there would be quite the challenge. Quote
