Dale - story behind the boxcab: Homebuilt 25 years ago from various bits and pieces. Frame a piece of sheet brass, drivers from Lionel 0-4-0 w/machined grooves on one side for rubber traction tires, driver side frames from plastic & brass bits, can motor from Frank Timko, electronics ERR Cruise Lite & ERR RailSounds, Lionel pantographs, body sides from 2 Lionel postwar SP style cabooses, body ends plastic??, roof from a 1/4" piece of acrylic plastic sanded, end platforms cut from Lionel NW frame. I have since acquired a RMT Beep shell that i will take the end platforms, steps & railings from to replace the Lionel ones. Thanks for your interest.
