OcTRAINber MOW 01
I've had a nice quiet day today which has allowed me to work up another late entry, this time for the Maintenance of Way (MOW) category.
The contest this year is to celebrate the unsung heroes of the railways, and there really isn't a hero more unsung than this one. It's presence is frequently overlooked but it's role is vital. No other piece of MOW equipment is more important and no other carries out a task more heroic. I am referring, of course, to the Honey Bucket.
Having already built an electric loco that looks like an out-house on wheels it seems only fitting that I should also build an actual out-house on wheels.
There are a few rail companies in the world that seem to use these rail-mounted conveniences, but it appears that Union Pacific use more than most. In fact, they seem to operate quite a large fleet of them. My design is based around theirs.
