Okay. How 'bout making a full mockup of the entire shell in that current scale then the exact same thing in HO. That would be a start...

Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.
Still working on that mockup?
Not at the moment now working on another project... I sent you a PM if you would like to discuss it...

If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough!

That's two independent locomotives coupled together. CNR 9000/9001

Clutch_CargoThat's two independent locomotives coupled together.
And two of the very first practical mainline diesel locomotives in North America (or, really, anywhere). Notable among many things for the use of relatively lightweight dirigible engines in an era when compression-ignition engines and their peripherals were generally too heavy for their horsepower even when giving full allowance for adhesion ballasting.
Baldwin had a relatively similar design (1500) at right around this time, and Clessie Cummins in his autobiography indicates some of the excitement in road-diesel development up to the late 1920s. An important detail, though, is how very different the successful EMC/EMD "locomotive" designs were from these, and not incidentally how the whole of electric locomotive design switched within just a few years from heavy cast underframes to trucks and span bolsters...
Any updates on this project? Seems like this is going to be a mean machine!

This is like the Whack A Mole game. Every couple days a new, figment of the imagination from an idle mind, mole is shoved up through one of the arcade game holes and everyone who should know better wastes time responding.
As someone else said, there are lawns out there that need mowing.
I'm sure there are contrary opinions.
I didn't dig up this thread! Right now I'm working on an A-B-A set of P42s.
Lawn business, joint chiefs (my parents) said I can't start a business or even get a learners permit to drive till graduation. So I am stuck till late April early may.

Nah this was my bad. I skimmed and missed the "I'm working on a different project" response.
Lucky for me there's still a little snow and my grass is still brown!
