The Mogul in the video is mine--and I can't wait to run it. It turned out to be a real "Frankenstein" project. It started out as a Bethlehem Steel Mogul, which I bought on ebay for short money. Then, right after I bought it I found the CN #86 loco shell on ebay, and bought it. At that point, I figured all I would need to do (other than sending it to Gunrunner so he could work his magic) is to swap out the loco shells, repaint the tender and have SRR decals made, and the end result would be a SRR Mogul, except for the cab number, and I can live with 86 instead of 89. While working on the conversion, John called me to tell me he found a Lionel SRR shell, so I went for that instead of the repaint / decal route on the Bethlehem Steel tender shell. At some point I'll either change the loco to 89 or the tender to 86 so they match, but that's not a huge priority right now.
I really like the end result; until someone makes #90, this will be perfect. Thanks, John, for your efforts.
John
