    I'll be ordering one of the new trucks first thing tomorrow, I just finished assembling one of the others last week!

    Edit: I couldn't wait that long, I just ordered it. You read my mind with this truck, it will be perfect for a BNSF wheel truck!

    Here's a pic of my just-completed (operating) MOW truck that was heavily kitbashed from an older (discontinued?) Showcase boom truck, where I added the recently-released Showcase tools in the back (compressor, welder, buckets and tool box) and mirrors....

    The truck rides on a modified Kato Pocket Locomotive chassis.

    Thanks! The cones are scratchbuilt out of rod and sheet styrene. The rods were turned at an angle against sandpaper to achieve the cone taper.
