Terry Akuna Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 Here is my first go at building a 10 wide locomotive with full interior. Quote
neonic Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 Looks impressive, like the 'engine' all the stuff. And ... Chinese driver? Quote
Feuer Zug Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 Good work on replicating this iconic freight locomotive. Quote
bogieman Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 You did a great job covering the shape of the loco and I really like the leaf springs on the trucks. The level of detail you did in 10 wide is great. I do note that the engine is closer to a turbocharged EMD engine with roots blower exhaust manifolds. The equipment rack and engine end details are nice. The upper grilles both front and rear on a GP7/9 were for the radiators which were located behind them. Each radiator bank had either 2 - 36" fans or 1 - 48" fan, the 48" inch fans introduced later in the GP9 production. Engine intake air was thru the louvers on the carbody doors, inertial filters weren't introduced until the GP30. Dave Quote
zephyr1934 Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 Now you are just showing off with all that detail under the hood (grin) That's a fantastic MOC Quote

I also have a SD40-2 and a SW1500 with full interior and motorized that I haven't got around to posting here yet. BTW: I sent a few people your way for rods. How that went, I have no clue. Quote
SteamSewnEmpire Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 Is it not actually powered, or am I missing the cleverly-concealed motor and battery? Quote

Getting the exterior to look good is hard enough, complete interiors like that is simply over the top. My interiors always seem to fill up with snot to get just the right offset on the outside and reinforcing structure, but excluding my steam I build 6 wide. Meanwhile, things are still chugging along with the rods, thank you for the references! Quote
Reker1000000 Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 Wow, incredibly detailed! I would love to see that motorized, although I feel like it would be hard with those trucks. Quote
