I disagree (but not too loudly...) I worked on my last four locomotives nearly
every week for almost a year total. The Challenger was at least six months of
work, the SD-50 was 2 1/2 months, the “Hogwart’s” was only a month. There’s
also a new switcher but I don’t have pictures of it posted, yet. (Other
locomotive pics here...)
A few of us in the GMLTC are nit-pickers, we really strive to make our
locomotives and rolling stock as realistic as possible. We usually do “train
shows”, we want the standard gauge folks to look at one of ours and immediately
recognize the make & model. The kids just look at them and say “cool! Lego!!”,
the parents and grandparents say “Cool! An SD-50!” (or whatever they’re looking
at).
And yea, we kinda go crazy with our scenery, too... :-)
