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.

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,
