Model Railroading > What to do with a box of blue box stuff? Build a Mad Max train!Date: 07/22/16 17:02 What to do with a box of blue box stuff? Build a Mad Max train! Author: trainworm I had this idea rattling around in my head for a while. Then i came across someone selling a bunch of old Athearn blue box cars and a FP45 locomotive so I had to get to work. Finally got to use a bunch of that spare crap we all have lying around lol.
The plow is from a rivarossi car and the concertina wire is from an old preiser kit. Piping from a walthers refunery piping kit, some BLMA fence, lots of corrugated metal and a ton of rust.

If it doesn't run, that only adds to its authenticity. Nice work - the hobby needs more whimsey. EO Date: 07/23/16 06:55 Re: What to do with a box of blue box stuff? Build a Mad Max trai Author: cabman I think I know what I'd do with that gas can in photo 5, but then I'd probably be condemned for not "playing nice"!

Bruce Date: 07/27/16 06:01 Re: What to do with a box of blue box stuff? Build a Mad Max trai Author: trainworm I built this.
And it's never been for sale. You might have seen it on facebook. I posted it in a couple groups a while back when i built it. Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 07/27/16 06:06 by trainworm.    |
