  12. i found this and i didn't see it the conversation yet http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Gabcsi/2010/7597.jpg it is toy story but its also a train and not a bad looking one at that. i'm still slightly skeptic note the picture is not mine
  13. sorry but it is currently unpowered i might put PF in it but i'm going to power my berkshire first i'll still have i video, the counterweights are really cool looking when they're moving
  14. yes i was! i want to build just a bunch of brown flatcars (plain i know) in 8 wide you have no idea how i labored over that boiler! i spent my 5 day thanksgiving break just to build it, i only stopped to eat and sleep i give you guys a video sometime after Christmas because i am going away and coming back on Christmas eve thank you
  15. wow really, never thought i would like a European train as much as i like this one (no offense to European builders) this is truly amazing!
  16. finally, after a half a year of work from concept to finished product i give you.... The Cumbres and Toltec scenic railroad's (ex DRG&W) K-36 mikado (2-8-2) narrow gauge locomotive. the K-36 is a narrow gauge engine built by the Baldwin locomotive works in 1925 for the DRG&W (Rio Grande) They have 36,000 lbs of tractive effort which is what the 36 in K-36 stands for the K stands for the 2-8-2 wheel arrangement. just a note this is the same engine that Brian Williams circus train has, I started work on the wheel set 2 weeks before i saw the first pictures of his great model (he beat me to it ) . I did steal the boiler from him so many thanks to him for that. more on brickshelf (when moderated) prototype hope you enjoy, this engine was quite a challenge
  17. thanks guys!
  18. first up is my southern pacific commuter train. All it is, is my GP 40P-2 with one of southern pacific"s signature dark bley bi-leveled commuter cars prototype next is my latest in the CSX bright future scheme, a GP 38-2 number 2720 prototype enjoy!
  19. i too shall remain skeptical i checked peeron and the set numbers aren't from any previously released set how did you find out?
  20. wow this is quite an improvement over your previous version it has a cheese slope boiler which equals an instant win
  21. there is a excellent article about diesel with PF in railbricks #6 there are instructions for a 3 axeled bogie made for PF that works very well railbricks just download the web version and find the article about PF and there should be instructions at the bottom
  22. thanks but these aren't mine if found this on brickshelf and thought it was worth a mention
  23. maybe you've maybe you haven't but i thought it was worth a mention because it is the first model of the famous union pacific DdA40X's. the DDA40X was two engines put onto a single chassis, it is the biggest and most powerful diesel ever any ways check out this train. brickshelf go up to see some more cool trains too
