Locomotive #5713 - LRTS
This wonderful little loco was built by fellow Flickr user (and a good friend!) Scotnick. I downloaded the model and removed the gears, motor, and all other Power Functions components. I replaced those parts with internal bracing, (just in case the structural integrity was compromised by me) I then redid the funnel design and dome mount, plus I added standard magnetic couplers. The second piston arm was removed to decease parts & cost.
Below are the facts and figures for Engine #5713:
