She's real fine, my 409
Author: WrongWayMurphy

Tested out the new drovers caboose today, patterned after a G scale model.

A buddy in Dallas built the wood body, and I fabricated the steel undercarriage and lettered it.

First photo is of the G scale model, and second photo the actual 1.5" scale car on my train today.

I had control of the ghost train in the video, using a AirWire wireless throttle .

Absolutely beautiful, but not as fast as the 4-speed, dual quad, posi-traction, fuel-injected, 409 Stingray ride I got when I was 9 - still catching my breath!

WWM, the proportions look better in 1/8th scale.

Obviously, he "stretched" it. A vast improvement to its appearance.

That thing sure can make noise. Kinda fun to bump the throttle when it is idling and hear that 567 rev up and do some switching.
