I just finished a new rail truck that I am rather proud of:
It is a color modified version of the Rio Grande Southern Motor #1 which
currently resides in Colorado’s Ridgeway Railroad Museum. My model is based on
the model of this by Bachmann, and is customized to my own Horseshoe Bend Rail
Road.
It is motorized with a regular geared 9V motor, powered by a 9V battery box in
the back of the truck. The drive wheels are Big Ben Brick small wheels.
