Here is a beautiful custom from the hands of Trip Riley.
Trip has used a Commodore Vanderbilt, Lionel coffin tender and an old M10000 to create this handsome set.

Starting with the CV we can see that trip has added some streamlining to cover the individual domes. On the tender he has cut out a section and fashioned a coal bed.

This first car, a combine, used to be the power car of the M10000. Trip has altered the front of the car and turned the entire passenger set around to work in reverse.

The second car is a repainted M10000 coach used in reverse.

At the tail end we have what was formerly a coach but with the butt of an observation soldered on. The beautiful blue-gray-gold livery is the final touch to make this a Royal Blue for the B&O.
