i just came up with the ultimate loco that i am going to build. it will be called the DDAC90X. it will be like the DDA40X, but it will be 2 SD90MAC-H's put together. it will have 4 trucks, 12 axles, and an extended cab. the best reasoning behind this loco i can come up with is that it is designed for non stop fast freights. the extended cab will have sleeping quarters for another crew, kinda like team driving an 18 wheeler. that way some of the stops can be cut out. also, with it's 4 trucks, it's weight will be more evenly distributed so it can operate on any existing tracks and around tight curves. i plan to take 2 or 3 rail power 90MAC shells and chassies and cut em up and put em back together. it will be powered with 2 motors like the athearn DD40. the leading and trailng trucks will be unpowered, with the 2 middle trucks powered. this thing is gonna rock! i'll be sure to get some pictures of it up when i get it assembled......ordering the parts now :) thank y'all for the ideas in this forum.
