Well, I have a couple of GP40s now to kitbash, but haven't got started yet.

I have an "N" scale DD40AX from Bachmann Spectrum and I love it.It ran quite nice on DC and seems to run even smoother since I retrofitted it with DCC,but it may just be my impression.I love monster locos,so this one is among my favorite.

Was never around one of these in real life yet, but have been around some big "steam" as a kid. Always something when they would start up. Have seen them back just slightly to get a bit of slack in the couplers and then the forward power is applied. What power. An awesome thing to me.
