I thought I would start at the beginning. The first photograph is what started at all. Through my research I discovered that the chain Grant line produced was perfect for the drive mechanism of this, but it would only work in 1:16 scale I took the model to the Narrowgauge convention in 2008 in Portland Oregon.
I really love to scratch build and in the scale I can pretty much make anything. I need my skills and available. Fools expanded since 2008. I will continue with what you all may have missed in the last 17 years.

That's quite the critter (prototype and model)!

Marty, welcome to the forum and thanks for starting this thread.
Did you mean Portland, ME.
I remember seeing it there.
Matter of fact one of the figures in your diorama is my avatar picture.
That critter you built was amazing and I look forward to seeing what else you've been up to lately.
Welcome aboard!
A great kick-off!
