Thanks guys!

Quite good indeed! Did the tank come from an ERTL milk tanker?

I don't think so.  Isn't Ertl the same as Take-n-Play? With magnetic couplings? This didn't have magnets. It would be about 15 years old. My son had a lot of mixed Thomas toys.

ertl had little hooks and t&p had magnets
i think the tanker is from tomy track master

They don't if you remove the tank, I believe that is an ERTL.

It' still impressive either way.

I've managed to do a bit more tonight, and the claw is certainly starting to take form.


The Faces: These will be interchangeable, though the left face is going to be painted more accurate!






The Claw/Grabber: Still Working on it currently, but it is looking splendid.




Modified Body: How it looks now with the front removed!

Then it was probably Ertl. I don't think Trackmaster has been around that long.

@Stepney: I really like your faces for Diesel 10 where'd you get them?

That's cool! I didn't know that Trackmaster Diesel 10 now has a CGI face (then again, I don't collect Trackmaster)

nice work on "pinchy" for Diesel 10

Looking good with the progress so far, Stepney. Personally, I didn't think the Magic Railroad Trackmaster face would ever fit an OO gauge Warship, but it looks like you're on the right track to making it happen...Looking forward to seeing the final product (especially the Magic Railroad version!).

You don't know how big headed that makes you sound...
Looking good Stepney! Cannot wait to see you progress with this! Any chance of Dodge, Splatter and Lady afterwards?
