    Turd Update!
    full tender pickup with modified B-mann tender trucks, runs awesome now!! I got some wire to make piping and such. I have decided that it is going to be a logger, I can't get over how awesome it looks pulling a string of log bunks.

    Nice job. Looks like the pessimists lose, both ends of your "turd" are the clean ends.
