GDRMB High Performance Vehicles (HPV)
Posted by GDRMCo on Saturday, January 1, 2005 2:56 AM
Construction of the HPV manufacturing facility begun today at 10:00am. The new plant will be built beside the locomotive plant in the foothills around Townsville. A new engine has been developed for the HPV's which is a scaled down 700hp V8 used in GDRMB's GTO passenger locomotive. A pre production Escala Divisora Grande has been manufactured and a side picture of one is included in this post.

The Escala Divisora Grande is just one of HPV's vehicles using the new 6.7 litre V8. The V8 is based on the GDRMB GTO passenger locomotive's engine. There have been 3 other HPV's added to HPV's M series.

Will you be creating actual models, or just the drawings, as a fun way of kind of Managing your own fictional business?

If it has an X in it, it sucks! And yes, I just had my modeler's license renewed last week!

Well Mitchell since my internet connection speed is only 12,000 bps tonight you were able to beat me by 55 seconds. [:(]

Congrats, you won the posting race on this one. [;)]
