legoman666 Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) My latest build, a BNSF SD70ACe. Basically the same as my Missouri Pacific unit. Complete with custom lathed steel wheels that pick up track power that feeds a recharging super capacitor circuit with a bluetooth motor controller, as detailed here in an article I wrote for Brick Model Railroader. 54 studs coupler to coupler, 7 studs wide. I also created the stickers myself with a fancy vinyl cutter/printer I bought. I do take custom orders too, just shoot me a PM or email okbrickworks@gmail.com. I am eventually going to sell instruction/stickers for this model, as soon as I get around to finishing the 3d design. Those side grill pieces just to the right of the road number; although worthless are kind of rare. There wasn't a single seller in the US that had 3. The fins on the roof were kind of tricky. I couldn't center them perfectly since the roof is 5 studs wide at that point, but I did my best. I wouldn't mind being stopped to watch this go by. Pop can ball bearings! Hope you enjoy!

Sir E Fullner Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 Beautiful engine, but what happens if you open the tabs on the wheels? Quote
Nemo57 Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 A beautiful and very accurate model. I liked the general shape of the locomotive (very similar and proportionally made), the frame of wheel sets, as always a good job with stickers. Quote
