Well I'm calling it finished, what do you think, air rifle target practice, or keep.

Whatever its fate, I love that it's based on a Grant. Cool work!

Looks very cool. I remember years ago in Orange Blossom Hobbies in Miami, they had on the display window a locomotive/bomber that someone dreamed up and it looked cool too.

WOW, that's insane! In a good way though!

Your original post had me going for a few moments, but the finished project is well worth the joke! Great job, and no, not for target practice. :) Bob

What did you do to that poor Grant? It looks like a cross between a Cylon Raider , something from Star Wars or maybe something needed to save a fictional earth from real bad guys who don't know we are an inventive bunch, now do they ?You need to keep it. It's Neat !

They actually had two.

  One was based on a regular Baldwin J-4 loco and the other on a " Big Boy"

That's a good name for it and I actually built the bigboy years ago but never thought of that, I wallpapered  it like the solvite wallpaper advert.
