Before I emerged from my Dark Ages, I dabbled in G scale (large outdoor
garden trains), where I had fallen in love with Aristo-Craft's Lil' Critter
engine

http://www.aristocraft.com/catalog/locomotives/lilcritter/

This little engine of mine ran on an overhead, ceiling-mounted layout at the
Pizza Inn joint I worked at in my spare time while stationed in Yokosuka,
Japan. What kind of work you might ask? Well, I maintained the model trains
that ran there (N and G scale) for a small fee.

Taking that love of the Critter to L gauge brought back some good memories
for me

I also took a moment to make my Shell(TM) Tanker kit more palatable as well.

Tell me what you think of the Critter,

Veyr nice! The detailing is ver good, much better, I must say, than on your first engine. Captures the spirit of the prototype, if not the exact details. -Stefan- (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jan-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) That is very nice. It looks like a lot of fun. What do you mean by "inside-bearing wheels"? Chris (22 years ago, 20-Jan-03, to lugnet.trains)
