I am very pleased to announce the completion of my Canadian National SD40-2
Diesel engine.

(This gallery includes comments on each page)
Voted "Best Train" of the show at the Northwest BrickCon!
The special features of this engine are as follows
4 White 3mm LED's located 2 in the nose and two in the tail. They light up
depending on the direction of the engine.
3 Spinning exhaust fans located in the rear.
HO & O scale decals from MicroScale Decals
The front and rear couplers are custom and are not attached to the motors.
DCC Ready
Special Thanks must go to the following people:
My wife Xandria for her support and listening to me worry and complain about
it for the last 2 years!
Jacob McKee for inspiration on the front and rear couplers. (He has a
LEGOized version of a similar engine at
http://www.bricksonthebrain.com/botbrail/ )
All the people that voted for my engine (Best Train award) at the NWBrickCon
2002

I look forward to your comments.

| Dean, I'm guessing that you are pulling the electrical power for the lights from the track (thus allowing you to turn on only the direction needed), do you have an detail shots of how the lights are mounted? Looks good, congrats on the award. jt (...) (22 years ago, 9-Oct-02, to lugnet.trains)
