Restored another GP7/9 in C&O and used parts from postwar and modern for a work train and bunk/tool car. Nice job on those units. I always found those early modern era Lionel units to be fun projects. Not complicated under the hood and easy to rebuild.

Excellent work. Better than what the factory produced!

Nice looking wreck train. Great colors.
Those Lionel wreckers always intrigued me. I have one, one of the few vintage pieces I own.

Thank you everyone. The crane I got the frame is postwar, the cab is modern. The caboose cab is postwar while the rest is from a modern era PRR car. The flat car didn't even have trucks on it. Most of this I salvaged from our bone yard at work lol.
It took longer to get the shell on the Geep cleaned up and painted than it did to do the frame and internals😁.
The Geep in the pic with the work cars is another one I saved. The frame was rusted and the internals need overhaul. Luckily after soaking the shell for a few days, it turned out very clean and nice. I did put in a new window bar that was broken out.
