I agree with you as well. You'll have to let me know if what your experiments yield when you try it out. Thanks for the support!

I liked the idea too, but it was pointed out to me that the curves and switches would cause the cars to uncouple if I didn't have the stair railings and bogies attached directly, so I changed it. I would love to do a GEVO style loco, but I haven't come up or seen a method that looks right yet. Once I do I will be sure to post here about it. You can check this project out on "Lego Ideas" here: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/97223 if you'd like. I am leaning towards doing more of my updates there. Thanks for your feedback!

Thanks for the feedback. I received similar feedback and made some changes and this is the first revision (of many I'm sure) To answer your question I am aiming for a "middle ground." A model that is accurate but also still usable. CSX GP40 REV1d

Doubles like this: Here's a better shot of the container (I hope) as I'm not willing to share just yet:

Thanks very much! In what ways? Would you please elaborate? Clearly that is something I have missed. Here's a look at the intermodal set I have been working on too. This is a triple set, I am also working on singles and doubles (if they exist). This is done in the TTX variation and the containers are in CSX blue. Because of how I did the containers this has a very high piece count, but I do think they look okay. Thanks all for the great feedback so far! I look forward to hearing more. Cheers,

Hi all, I do plan on building this in real bricks, but being in college I can't really afford to do that at the moment.

I have always been a fan of trains, but I have felt that the Lego models have always lacked a little bit, whether it be the shape or something else. So I decided to have a crack at it and this is what I came up with. This is a GP40: A CSX Switcher A "hybrid electric" based on "Genset." And a very unflattering "yard slug." Because of how I did the cabs, you can't stick a minifigure in any of them, but I don't think it would add to the model in anyway. Anyways, I thought I would try posting here and see what kind of feedback I got.
