Hot on the heels of my first post, here’s my second (and the reason I got
side tracked) …
I went for a biggie for my first loco MOC so please let me know what you
think of my Canadian Pacific GE Evolution Series in six-wide.

I must say thank you to James Mathis for the steps on the truck, blatantly
pinched from his Alco RS1; and to Tim Gould for posting his version of
(almost) the same loco a couple of weeks ago. I had just received my last
Bricklink order to build the thing but I just wasn’t happy with the rearmost
underside radiator grill and his version presented me with the solution I had
been looking for! (Such a small piece of plagiarism – such a major rebuild!).
Thanks for reading
Play Well

After much communication, Chris and I have been able to come up with a set of
LDraw files showing the construction of the ES44AC. They are now available on
Brickshelf. A word of caution...I cannot seem to capture the fine points of
creating mpd files in MLCAD. All the files have to be downloaded and then the ES
44.ldr file run. The files are located at
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=240694.
The only change from Chris’ original design is the use of two more Minifig hands
on the upper handrails. Chris said this is OK and he will probably make the
change on his model.
This, along with Chris’ Prime Mover creation, have been a real joy to work with.
I think we have a new star in Chris in the world of train design.
Let me know of any corrections, observations or objections.
Thanks again, Chris, for your outstanding work and cooperation.
Joseph
