Jered has an old Athearn Hustler engine he picked up at an estate auction in a box of older HO scale trains. For a few years, he's thought about getting it up and running, and with our Geneva modules making good progress, he's now decided a small dedicated industrial switcher would be a great addition to the layout.
Starting with the basic Hustler, he removed the stock motor ( with the rubberband drive! ) and used it for a paperweight. Dropping in a North West Short Line powered truck was quite easy - only had to cut away the cross-piece on the bottom of the old chassis. From there, a lot of add on grab irons, hand rails, etc. Stay tuned for paint.....
