"Oh no, he quite enjoys it!"
What I did with the rest of the HLW switcher I used the drive block from to make the Steam Dummy, rebuilt onto a HLW Mack chassis. 
Sad to say but this may be the *last* locomotive I build for a while  , I need to finish off what I have already started and then shift focus from the workbench to the layout.

Life isn't a journey to the grave, intending on arriving safely in a pretty and well kept body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, loudly proclaiming,'Wow! Whata ride!
(Embracing the Dimside. Let the Farce be with you. Dimness is what you make of it. Make mine Dim.)
This could get interesting... | |

| | Nice job. Is it just my eyes, or are those journal boxes hanging over the track? If so, how does it do on curves and turnouts? | |

| I dont think it was actaully on the rails when I took the pic,  it runs fine but I made it just a hair too wide so it hits the side of the tunnel on my portable layout, oops! Works fine on the large layout. | |
