Very nice. I'm actually building a low-poly train for a BF1942 Mod (Global Front). Looking at your pics have helped me to understand how trains work and so how to construct it. Thanks

Hi Crazy Eyes you are welcome and i am glad i could help believe it or not i have only just started to get an idea of how trains etc work. If i can help just ask (believe me i have got tons of reference material by now)
Here is the next element in the Schanabel type car another 16 axle unit (one of 2 required in the car

Flashback to my first posted loco a EMD GP 9 looking at ultimatez 32's GP 15 made me dig into my archives possibly as a future project i can re-paint and tart up the loco a bit

Sneak preview of secret development of a 91.7' articulated diesel (in dolphus' imagineering works)
All design suggestions will be considered, and possibly included

My latest daydream a futuristic freight locomotive still under development

Ultimatez 32 · 1 Oct 2009, 02:01

are you sure in the future there will still be bogies?

dolphus · 1 Oct 2009, 05:00

We will have to utilize the existing rails for at least the next 20 years or so ....then who knows i'll still get there....
