In preparation for starting up a LEGO Train and City layout, I wanted to create a small, Power Function controlled center-cab switcher for use in a train yard. I used the GE-65 Ton center-cab for inspiration, but it's not an accurate model of that example. I wanted to utilize 4-wide hoods on both sides of the 6-wide cab. This presented challenges with the incorporation of Power Functions components. Utilizing lessons learned from LEGO 3677, I did my best to "hide" the PF components as much as possible. Working from the DBG color of the battery box, I used that as the primary color, with red as the secondary color, and some accent lines in LBG. I used a 24-stud train base, and didn't lengthen it at all, since the desire was to keep this as short as possible. The cab section is least realistic, however, I was working with parts on hand, and wanted to ensure that a minifig and some controls were able to fit. Constructive criticism is welcomed.
