Yes I made it out of an old Lionel B unit .I scratch built the nose section and front skirt from sheet Aluminum and added a jet pod from my model parts stash.

You did a great job with it. For some reason I cannot get the video to come up. Most likely on my part. But the engine sure looks great tho.
