Howdy,

I am working on a kit-bash of a Labelle traction motor trying to make the Chicago North Shore & Milwaukee Railroad MOW car #606.  This has been and is a challenge but also fun. I am actually thinking I will have something that can run in another couple of months. What I need is a powered and trailing truck that would work for 3 rail. I know this is heretical but that is what I am I guess. A couple of years back Jim Rivers located one and it worked just great but he hasn't been able to help me of recent.  I have thought about buying a Bowser from e-bay and cannibalizing it but I'm not sure how well that would work with the wood floor on the Labelle kit. I am posting to see if others may have been able to come up with something for this task..

Thank you for your time,606underconstruction

Howdy,

I tracked down (pun intended) an old Pittman motor and trailing trucks from a fellow at the East Penn Traction Club. Then a contact brought two more to the Hoosier Traction meet! These were old and dirty with the trailing trucks not matching the motors but I have' em. Below are photos of the pretty much finished project. I am sort of glad to be done in a way. The end was some tough sledding for me.
