Hi all,
Yesterday I saw
this train and just had to build it. The problem was, I’d sworn to myself to
avoid Alco-like diesels as so many people have done them so well.
Well, as you can see in the end I relented (to myself) and went ahead and built
it. I tried to add something new in the grille design at the front which I based
on a technique of Erik Amzallag. I haven’t tweaked it in a brick build but I am
sure the technique is sound and can be made to work one way or another.
I’ve written up a bit at MOCpages and
the BS gallery has the
pictures.
Please check it out and let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Tim

| (...) That grille work is excellent with the fence parts used to create a thin vertical line segment between the protruding grilles. Thanks for highlighting this bit of detail work. Really nice! later, James Mathis (19 years ago, 22-Nov-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| (...) I like it a lot and just love the color scheme. Even the dark bley cab roof. All the colors work very well. I wil be giving this a brick build attempt quite soon. Best, Jonathan (19 years ago, 22-Nov-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| (...) Hey, That is a great looking engine. The whole mismatched sand blue-blay thing adds a bit of realism to it. After all, most engines aren't the most beautifully maintianed :) Chris (19 years ago, 25-Nov-05, to lugnet.trains)
