I posted awhile back about all the AF and Marx streamliners being powered by
available steam type motors complete with steam type spoked wheels. Not
very attractive considering the streamliners (not streamlined steam locos)
were all distillate or diesel engines. I recently picked up a Marx E7 diesel power
truck on the bay. I am thinking of experimenting with some of my streamliners.
I am attaching photos of my AF M10005 with it's original steam type motor and
another with the diesel truck under it. Any mods will have to be done to the motor and
not the body, but this one seems fairly easy. I like the diesel motor better. The body is
still too high, but lowering it would mean modifying the whole train to match.
What do you guys think?

I really like the looks of the diesel trucks and I don't think the rear trucks look all that bad...
