Diesel 10 mod - ROCKINATOR - 12-11-2014

Hi all i had an old diesel 10 that I broke the negative tab off of when I was little ( have no clue how) and there a month ago it was laying around so I decided to mod the shell. Well I started with a rotating Pinchy. I did this with a special lego piece and Popsicle sticks covered in masking tape, painted black an then Pinchy was taped on. Then I built a slightly larger Pinchy to go with the new arm. After I completed that I took two pieces of masking tape and taped over the on off switch and pinchys holder or whatever you want to call it. And painted them to match diesel 10 paint and then I completed diesel 10. For now. And you may catch a glimpse of a project I'm working on.

Thank you all for the positive feedback. And Ucwepn I mentioned to you the traction rod mod Thomas a long time ago on YouTube. He is working quite well actually. All he needed was more weight. I'll post him later on.

Should be really nice, I expect! Although, your photo attachments aren't showing up on my screen.
RE: Diesel 10 mod - ROCKINATOR - 12-12-2014
I'm not seeing them now either I'll fix that asap
RE: Diesel 10 mod - Super - 12-12-2014
Looks like you have a fine layout there Rockinator, at least from what I can see. Do you have any pictures or videos of it to share?
RE: Diesel 10 mod - ROCKINATOR - 12-12-2014
I won't be taking any shots of the whole layout yet super i need another light fixture mounted on the other end of the layout because it's very dark and the camera doesn't pick up much. So soon probably about middle of next week since I'm going to town Xmas shopping I'm going to pick a fixture up then.

Now I can see it! I used the same kind of lego piece for the rotating part of pinchy.
