Wind-up Tank Engine

Using a wind up motor as the base, and one picture for reference, one of my favorite and most fun projects so far this year

 

I rebuilt it from 4 studs wide to 6, then it was too heavy, so now its 4 studs wide and the cab is 5. I feel this looks much more like the original (as far as is possible with a wind up motor for a base haha!)

 

 

I also have invested in an oval of the old, OLD track, the kind it is pictured on here, as the ribber tires grip on it much better.

 

 

What started off as a ridiculous idea is now giving me a ton of ideas. I think I'm gonna bricklink me a pile of wind-up motors and go to town!
