[MOC] Burlington Northern EMD SW-1

[ProvenceTristram]

I did the cab yesterday while on the phone - sort of an LDD "doodle," or thought exercise. When I was finished, I realized I had done the hardest part, and decided to polish the silly thing off. At <900 pieces, and with a fully self-contained battery, motor, and IR receiver, this wouldn't be a bad 8-wide starter locomotive for someone looking to model the transition or early diesel era (with different colors, of course - but the conversion would be pretty simple).

One more because I am a rank sucker for nose shots:

That's a great little engine. Gonna' have to break out the spray paint though!

Very nice! Some more details on the front would help though!

Impressive model... I like the skilful way you've managed the building of the roof!

Wow any tips on building the little loco? The railroad I work at has two SW1's, one LV and the other PRR and I'd love to model them. You wouldn't happen to sell the LDD file would you?

Instructions based on my MOCs may soon be for sale on one of the broker websites. However, with regards to this loco, I don't feel it's up to my present standards. I'll take a look at it again tomorrow and see if I can bring it up to snuff.

That looks great! Nice renderings, may I ask what you used?
