My son Ross was messing around in the LEGO factory, and I encouraged him to
submit his efforts to the contest, so here it is:
- It is based loosely on his GP50
- The color scheme is by necessity, not by prototype. Could be CP though.
- The sticker price is rather shocking ($122.22 without motors!) Buy it (if you dare;-) HERE
I never really give much thought to how much MOCs eventually end up costing;
now I think I know why;-)

I love the loco Ross (John). Just remember that to be included in the contest
you need to submit it to the Gallery on Save 9v Trains.
Here are the Rules and
Instructions.
As a quick update the “Rolling Stock” and “Diesel/Electric” catagories are going
very well with the “Passenger” catagory not far behind. “Steam Engines”, not
supprisingly, are lagging behind and “Fantasy Trains” have no entries to date.
“The Stuctures” catagory and the “Maintenance” catagory only have a couple of
entries and they are mine so they are basically still wide open.
Of course this is going to be a fairly long run contest so its not like I
expected all the catagories to be full this early in the process.
As for all the Blood and Sweet talk, I generally agree but the software is still
pretty new and some issues have been addressed. There are still a lot of
issues, from parts that are extremely hard to work with (boggies) to the fact
that the software itself requires a pretty hefty computer to run. I think the
LDraw compatability is a big bonus but even that has some issues.
My hope is that now that part fulfillment is in place that they can concentrate
on the usability of the software.
Thanks for the interest in the contest!
