interesting looking model. would be good to have on a small siding somewhere i guess.

 

The descriptoion mentions better motor then previous models. i know the kiha motor they sell works better than the deki so should be an ok little loco hopefully. tempted to buy it.

Very cute! sounds like they are rolling out a set of mow cars as well.

 

im tempted!

 

its basically the same as the little greenmax guy. their deki mechanism just barely fits into the greenmax model if you hack and whack some but the wheelbase is a bit short. was also thinking of trying a kato portram power  truck. this power unit looks built for it. crane is also a nice little touch.

 

nother idea for mow cars are these snow plows. in the off season the plows are removed and small cranes attached to use as mow equipment.
