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.

Killer MOC, Matt!

It is very faithful to the original, and very creative in execution. It reminds me of the over-my-head mechanical stuff that my son Ross builds:-)

Well done, and thanks for sharing!

JOHN
