Thanks Chacal. At least someone understands the intent. We (I believe most of us in the community) realize it takes darn near an engineering degree and expensive software to design and build one of these models from scratch. I'm hoping someone with the skills and experience may have a little time between projects to look into this. We would all benefit. As there were numerous railroads that operated these. It's certainly not an obscure or little known design by any means. So good luck. With everyone's help maybe we can soon add another fine locomotive to our rosters.

$80.00

And I have no degree.

I does take patience and a boat load of time (months).

I'd do it but I'm working on a different ALCO set. Maybe for a project whilst I go to school for my degree in animation and media arts?

And your point?

I'm just starting college this year, and I already have completed models in game.
