Great looking. Nice and wide too! (I’m a fan of larger sizes)
Did you have the drawings to help you build the engine? I see from the Model
Railroader diesels book that an FL9 is 59ft long and 9ft 10ins wide, so in
8-wide perhaps it could be 48 studs long. Would it go round the curves OK
with the extra length or would you have to put straights between the curves
as I do? http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1150144

Hi,
Thanks for your compliments ! That makes me feel very happy.
To build the model, I used pictures found on Internet and a drawing found in a
modelist magazine.
You’re right, my loco is 8 studs wide and 39 studs long. I know it’s shorter
than it should be, but I reduced the model to resolve the curve problem. As you
can see in my galery, the loco doesn’t exceed too much the rails in a normal
curve. It looks ok in a normal curve. But maybe you can build it in 48 studs
longs, if you use your type of curve.
BTW, there’s a light connected to the motor in the big front headlight.
PS: sorry for the delay, I tried to post this reply few days ago, but it didn’t
work and I lost my message (I really don’t find this forum easy to use :-().
Maybe it’s because I tried to post with a different browser than the one I used
to register ?
