Description
Well, now that I finished that Heisler concept I though that it was about time I finished the colored version of my Mini Max. Took me long enough didn't it?
"Clyde" is shown painted/unlettered because I don't know what number he will have according to the Big Thunder Mt. RR & Mining Co.'s roster. At least not yet. I need to sit down and actualy write it out.
Anyherr... I hope you all like it and hopefully some day soon we'll get to see him "In The Flesh".
COMMENT IF YOU FAV PLZ!!!

Much Obliged! The paint scheme was inspired by the Roaring Camp & Big Trees Railroad's "Dixiana". An old Class B, 2-Truck Shay they have that's beautifully preserved in California.

Well, I'd watch that item like a hawk. When I still had a job with reliable income I used to be quite the E-bayer.
If possible, wait till like the last 30 seconds or less to make your bid. Basically leaving little or no time for another bidder to out bid you. I won a number of items with that stragity. I almost won an Fn3 scale 2-6-0, but I put my bid in too soon and was out bid.

i do the same thing only i weight till one 50 seconds ancase i dont enter over the max bid i have time to increese it but it is hard to time things perfectly. ive lost a few in the last 10 seconds.

I dunno.
The whole thing is based on an old BVM kit. I'm hoping they'll bring it back, would would make building the model a whole lot easier than scratch building it.

Ahh, I see. I take it you've tried E-bay... XD

What do you mean? Using ebay to find a Donor model? (which is what I now have) or the BVM kit?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I was thinking of the BVM kit, actually. ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Chances are that all the Mini Max BVM kits have very happy owners. I don't belive a whole lot were made. Probably due to Bachmann only producing the model for a few years.

Daw shucks...
Knowing you, I'm sure you can work something out from scratch, though. ^^

And to think I still have yet to color the Heisler and not to mention the up comming Shay!!!

It's based off of the one used on the Roaring Camp & Big Trees RR. The idea originated with the On30 Shay I plan on making and I wanted to use the RC&BT's scheme for it, though with different lettering. So I figured I'd apply it to the other BTMt. RR geared locos to.

Sounds like a good plan!

if you want a real challenge you should try drawing an Australian Locomotive

I have in the past, the Puffing Billy Rwy.'s Na class locos. Haven't drawn one recently though.
But I still need to draw the shay that goes with my Mini Max and Heisler. I'll probably work on that first.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
did you post the NA class?
I have some photos of a pair of them
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No I haven't posted them, mainly because I lost them some time ago.
I planned on drawing some soon to see how'd they look as "Wolf Creek & Flagstone" Locomotives. (painted black w/ white lettering)

Woah, that sounds cool. O.o

If there is aenough demand for them I may move the idea up on my priority list.
