Is there an advantage to using PF round motors and gears vs 4wheel powered train trucks if powering the smaller train wheels instead of the steam train wheels? (Also thinking of what might work best for the 8 wide SD70 I am working on...)

That Big Boy is amazing! Is that really only in LDD? It looks so real...

Interesting. I just saw that XL powered truck yesterday on someones diesel plans I think... It looks like the drive axle is also the pivot for the truck. Does that effect how it turns? On my #1401 PS-4 I have a the Emerald gear setup reworked so a medium motor sits right over the front wheels behind the pistons, I was thinking I could do two of those on the Allegheny too.

Ours is going to be #1604 that is housed at the B&O Railroad museum in Baltimore. My son is obsessed. Tony's work introduced us to Big Ben's Bricks and helped when I found myself stuck a few times. I have not finished the tender or done any of the underside detail/hoses yet, but I used 2x2 mod plate ball and socket "trailer hitch" to articulate the rear bogey of the tender so it looks the part of a 6-8... not sure how I am going to power the thing, one PF truck in the front of the tender may not be enough.

I am new here but have been working on a PS-4 Southern, using #1401 at the Smithsonian American History Museum for inspiration. Also still working on the 2-6-6-6 Allegheny in the back ground... Additional projects include a GWR 5972 (Hogwarts Exp), and converting my modified BASF to CSX diesel into a CSX EMD SD 70 (ACe) going from 6x32 studs to 8x41. I will try and get some pics uploaded.
