Sometimes we just have to look at them as future bashing stock. Friend gives you an old frame with a good motor and it is a close fit to the shell on the JD loco... You have a sudden inspiration to go Jackon Pollock on a piece of rollingstock... Decide to finally do the Gomez Addams layout & wreck... Decide it time to recreate the Snow Piercer and the JD set as donor.... Someone gives you a windup motor.....
It's all good, just a chance to express your creativity...
Good fodder for future experimantation.
Happy Rails!
