Scratchbuilt GE Prime Mover 7FDL

Looks great! It should add a "wow" factor to the service facility.

Maybe your next one should be an old Alco, complete with oil leaks?!? Nevermind.

And for my next act of insanity, a GE EVO engine is in my mind. God, I must hate myself. This and a RAD cab from an AC4400 being repaired at the shop, with all the contiguous equipment on the interior of a RAD cab no one ever sees. Like some people here know I work at GE and can go look at this stuff first hand, can't take pictures in the plant though, firing offense. Anyway thanks for all the kind remarks, Up close it's ratty looking , but the three foot rule works great. from a distance it's fine.

That is probably the most impressive diesel engine I have ever seen in the modeling world. That would look so cool on a locomotive with the doors on the side open to make look as if it were being worked on..... HEY!!! There you go.. Now you need a locomotive and build it so the doors are open and place the engine inside....[;)]

the first one is allways the hardest, the second one yo build i bet will go twice as fast.

That looks dynamite. If you hadn't said it was scratch-built, I would have thought it came from a top flight kit.

[GAPPLEG]

I thought the first one would go outside the shop, maybe being shipped out to a railroad. But everyone keeps saying put it on a model, will have to think about it. I will maybe make another one some day, it's very time consuming. So one or the other will go on an athearn frame with the cab removed maybe.

[MisterBeasley]

Wow. How are you going to display it, inside the shop or out? Or maybe mounted on a dummy body with the shell removed? It's bee-yooo-ti-ful.

Very nice, it will look great outside your service shop indeed!

WOW!! FANTASTIC, that would look so cool on the inside of an engine with the axcess doors open going down the rails!

nice job!

Well I'm done with this project as far as I'm going to take it. Enough is enough. It's been an excercise in ? patience? insanity? There is no way I'm going to make many of these , its a nightmare. But it's going to look good at my GE service shop on the layout.
