Frankenstein's Engine...?

Description

As made plain in the past, the majority of my scratchbuilds are unpowered; the few that are using commercially-available chassis.  This particular monstrosity is an attempt (albeit with a whitemetal kit of a very forgiving prototype) to build from scratch a motorised chassis.  Aesthetics were plainly unimportant(!).

The second design attempt, noisy, clunky and incapable of reverse, it nonetheless actually works *and* can pull a train!  

So while not something I may repeat in the near future (and requiring further skills currently beyond me), it really goes to show that nothing is impossible...

EDIT: This chassis died rather rapidly, being superceded by Mark II: jd-ripper.deviantart.com/art/J…
