Sp gp-38-2

[trucks3]

So I thought I would build something I never have, A 1974 Southern pacific EMD GP-38-2 locomotive. 

(Update! instrux done on this) https://bricksafe.com/pages/trucks3# (my instrux are on here)

 THEN

NOW

Great! Please share your insights and your progress.

@trucks3 Why have you made three topics about this exact same loco? Just so you know, you are really not supposed to do that, especially without any info, pictures, links, or really anything for us all to discuss. I'm not trying to step on @JopieK's toes, but please - take one topic (this one I'm posting this in, preferably) and post updates in it instead of creating new topics for the same MOC. Anything more is superfluous and unnecessary.

I know you are rather new here, and there is a learning curve to using forums and the corresponding etiquette, so I understand if you didn't know. (we were all new to this site once, and have all made mistakes!)

Again, just trying to help!

It looks good so far. You might want to post pictures elsewhere and link them into posts, as Eurobricks doesn't host photos.... the space you have for uploads is for your signature and your avatar. Bricksafe or Flickr are two photo sites I've used and recommend, although there are more out there.

I also am not the best person to help with fine-tuning instructions... sorry @trucks3!
