In Aug/Sept 2009, based on pictures from John McCall's book, "The Doodlebug" I kitbashed two Aristo Heavyweight Combines, some Doodlebug parts, and other fabricated parts into "The Ultimate Doodlebug" the "Old Pelican" # M-190. A unique doodlebug, she was articulated and had a 900hp distilate/diesel motor. Operation was from 1931 to 1967 from Kansas to Texas, to New Mexico.
The model as seen in the video link below is operating on the snowy HedgeApple~RioGram RR, in Wichita, KS, on New Year's Day, 2010. I can't think of a better way to begin the new decade.
The model uses QSI RC-sound, with the NCE Gwire ProCab controller, with a range greater than 250 ft.

Dave.
The head is gray, hands don't work , back is weak, legs give out, eyes are gone, money go's and my wife still love's Me.
Jim, how about making the builders log and history (that you handed out at Marty's) available to the rest of us? Would sure like to see that detail.

Greg,
I am rewriting the construction log for submission to GR magazine. Hopefully, it will be well done enough to publish at a future date. The original log was written in PowerPoint and would be difficult to post.
