I've never seen a pile driver like that before..
Hi,
Ben, yes I am aware of the restoration of the Rio Grande pile driver. I fond as many pics as I could, but many of them were too grainy to see detail but just enough to understand the general shape and how it works. I did find a drawing. That helped the most.
Norn, I'm using Pencil42's arch bar type trucks in standard gauge and link and pin couplers. I don't know when the prototype was made but I'm using it in my new route set in the late 1800's just before the use "auto" couplers.
I'm going to make the boom as a commodity with attachment points so it can be up or down. Enjoy Don

Hum, if you made the whole upper deck a commodity you could use the same technique as davesnow used on his <kuid:101046:103318> Crane Flat No Cab or Boom DES and <kuid:101046:103312> Crane UP non powered DES. Just a thought. 
It does appear as though the entire upper deck is intended to rotate.
Of course that is a lot more work and would be of limited application.

You can get them at K&L trainz. Great steam-era and preservation-era content.
The air is getting cool and holidays are coming. There has been a steady uptick in passenger travel and many of the railroads are talking of adding extra trains to handle the load. On a cool evening the Railfan caught a couple of streamliners coming and going on the southern approach to CUT.

Oh very nice Norm! I find it hard to believe the size difference between those locomotives! It's certainly something...
Isn't that the... St What's it called Island route?(I honestly for the life of me can't remember the proper name)

Union Pacific... I don't know how but you converted me from a die-hard SP fan.

Just a weathered Challenger I whipped up over the past couple days. This is not included in the TrainzItalia pack.
And yes, the Challenger 12-pack of locomotives will be released, everyone's just been busy.
