A few years ago I modeled an F-1 1/2, Thats the front half of an F-3 shell mounted to an Athern Lil'Hustler Chassis.

How about a DD40 chassis with two F40PH shells on it back to back- giving it two cabs. it could be called a DD40PH

Well the HPA/HPB locos are built and i have plans to extend them to be as long as my H9025M loco. A scale 55m!!!! They so far are powered by 4 Athearn Hustler engines. They hardly fit into the shell!!!!

[:p]I got it, I got it, and she didn't even see me do it, but she'll know soon enough, then will come the interragation, the lights, the thumb screws, the water torture, and for what, a worthless piece of plastic, shaped like a nose cone of some NASA creation of the distant past. But!!!, I'll endure, and I won't give in, I won't tell her that I, her so called sane father, swiped it just to build some distorted creation conjured up in my sick mind. I can't let her believe that I'm really building a FRANKINSTIEN, dreamed up in a deep sleep brought on by too much Italian sausage and Miller Draft, at 10pm on a friday or saturday night. I will endure, yes I will, I never give in, never!!!!!!![}:)][}:)][}:)][}:)][}:)][}:)][}:)][}:)][:p]
