My 8th AP Certificate – Master Builder – Motive Power


Motive Power was another one of those certificates I figured I would never earn. After all, you have to scratch build a locomotive! Early on when I thought about locomotives I thought about steam engines. Later on I learned about diesels, critters and others. After scratch building some cars the thought occurred to me that a small locomotive could be like a car with power added so it really wasn’t that much different. I needed a “critter” for my next project so it worked out perfectly! Read my NMRA article to find out more information.

You can read the NMRA Magazine PDF here.

You can go to my old website to find information about the Climax.
