Diesel Locomotion

Small Diesel engine? That came out looking great. Nice Job.

-- Bruce, Boise, ID

A great build and great blog about building. Thanks for posting.

I love this model very much. You did a great job making this one. And it is not only the model that is nice but also the fact that it is your own developed one. Bruce I’m glad you made a rail on it and now I’m curious how you glued the rail parts and with glue you used and what measure the dowels are. Also thanks for sharing the building process with us.

VERY WELL DONE.

This model has some of the finest detail that I have ever seen. It is so full of fine craftsmanship and is actually quite extraordinary.

I know Joe I should have put in the doors but I don’t think they would have added much and once my mind hits the it’s done button, IT”S DONE!!! LOL
Thanks all for your kind words.

Beautiful job. I’m glad to see others are building train models.

Great finished product B4. The track shot with the other rolling stock absolutely looks the part and nails your talent… See I’m not dumb (it’s the way the missus dresses me), that’s why I was always on your back about tracks...

With a bit of imagination, the doll house in the background gives me a “Bavarian alps” feel (in a good way). Immediately thought of “Von Ryan’s Express”....

Two quick questions. First, your other blog mentioned 1/16” dowel… the rails looks thicker than that. Was that a typo or am I getting more confused than normal. Second..... Forgot… my head still hurts from all the reading… and Joe’s picture’s making me hungry (it’s breakfast time here).

PS. I know I’m nagging (the missus is a great role model), but a set of ”stunt” tracks in picture #1 would have made it look $1,000,000, without it, its missing that $0.02 worth.

PPS. It’s lost that puppy look.

PPPS. You been moonlighting on the sly? Are those black tyres/wheels on the Ford lurking in the background that you haven’t told us about?

Mron I don’t have the room to build them as big as you do but that’s what’s needed to get in all the details and thanks.

yep You right 1/8!!!
Glad you saw that, I don’t know there 1/16 came from but 1/8 it is.

“Are those black tyres/wheels on the Ford lurking in the background that you haven’t told us about?”

I sanded the car smooth and sprayed it again and while I was at it hit the extra set a spoke wheels with some black paint.
I still need to make some bumps for it and add some hub caps but just went on to other things for now.
That’s why no project pictures.
