Reply to "Kitbashed Postwar Locomotives"

I had a Marx 1998 switcher missing the Marx shell.  I found a Lionel SW2 shell and cut out about 1 inch of it to shorten it to fit the 1998.  I painted it black, white and red in the colors of ALCOAs Bauxite and Northern short line railroad from the Bauxite, ARK alumina and chemical plant in Bauxite, ARK to the a major railroads main lines.  The Marx 1998 is a great running engine and always beats other engines in racing through the oval and figure 8.

This post is from topic on how I built my layout on OGR forum linked below.  This link has details of many kit-bashed and home made cars, buildings, operating accessories including a $10 operating turntable and a round house.
