Very nice job! Lovely ground work.

One question, if it's running on rails, why would it have a spare tire?

cheers

This is a beautiful model, nicely painted and weathered and I like the presentation.
Forgive me for nitpicking, but I believe that the part of the wheels in contact with the rail should be unpainted, i.e. bare metal. Maybe a dirty bare metal.

I think the spares are actually 2 wheels per side that bolt on the outside of the railwheels making this capable of road travel also.

excellent job and a very cool idea i really like everything about it.

A very nice model.
I like the weathering, although I feel a little more polished metal on the rolling edges of the wheels would really set it off even more. Although I admit, perhaps it's possible it was just placed on the rails and hasn't had a chance to wear off the rust.
Just my .01 cent.
