   Well, I built this MOC in about 5 days, (not counting the time waiting for parts) but waited 30 days to finally get decals on it. Unfortunately, O-scale was too big, and HO-scale is too small, but I had to go with HO, cause it at least fit.

Might S scale decals be nearer the right size? There’s a lot more complex construction in the loco than appears at first glance.

Hi Tim, you are correct. S-scale would have been the best fit, unfortunately, this particular scheme was not available in S, so I was stuck with HO.

Regarding the construction, it certainly is more complicated than it looks. The picture isn’t that great either. I may post some better ones later. It looks so much cooler in real life.

Thanks, Mark
