The other day I was over at BridgeMasters warehouses and Jeff showed my some "new" Hartland engines he had acquired. I don't know that I had seen this steam model (and don't know which one it is), but like the Dodge Magnum, the cab and widows appeared to be "chopped" ala factory Low Rider, which I mentioned to Jeff. Anyone know which Hartland engines these would be?
I was thinking of using one to make up a "Low Rider" train. A little work on the engine to French the headlight and maybe some "twice pipes." I figured a couple of Cervesa cars where the bodies had been lowered over the wheels almost to the rail. Potentially, one or more could be automated to make it do some Low Rider "pneumatic hops." Of course we would need a couple flat cars, channeled, with some low rider model cars on them. The railcar wheels could potentially have the wire wheel caps installed on their surfaces, etc. A population of Homies and some graffitti could tie it all together.
Too hokey?
