This is one of my favourites. It looks good, runs well and was made for under $20. I found a model Mack truck at a local hobby store, already built, bought it, took it home and stared at it for about two years. Then came Allan Olson's article in the October 1996 Garden Railways magazine on how he built a rail truck from the same model kit. Mine is configured a little differently as I have two powered wheels in the rear with four wheels in the front. The lights work, the chain drive doesn't, but it runs nicely. I'd like to find wheels with a small enough flange so that it doesn't look ridiculous ( the front wheels are from a New Bright locomotive ). It is battery powered and one day when I'm feeling clever I'm going to cannibalize a toy R/C car and make it radio controlled.
