Well.....??? They are beautiful shelf queens! Thanks for the info. I hate to keep bugging you off topic but why are they stuck on the shelf? Power pick-up problem? Stuttering? They look near mint and I love to see stuff run. I would think a decent sound board would help them run smoother unless it's sound only? I've always admired them.

Trying to nail down all the angles on this modern GE cab is tuff. I will get it. It may take some extra time.

Beautiful work! and I'm admiring the E's on the shelf above!

I hate some of the stuff that goes on with modern tech. Seems like we are going towards automated smart houses. I can't wait to have someone in a foreign country turn on my lights, change the temp, and open doors from there! What printer did you get? Do you like it?

I wish Mike W. (MTH) would have made this engine for us!

I got several pieces cut and then noticed that they weren't right. The top of the cab is not drawn correctly. I probably should re-cut the sides while I'm fixing stuff. They should have been taller. I like having a model near to look at. I wish I had looked at it sooner!

Thanks Grant! It's good to hear from you! I hope all is well.

I started work on the cab. Lots of angles to do.

I have 3 challengers and now a bigboy. I've never had that screw come out? One Challenger was of the first batch delivered. Interesting.

Thank you for the kind response. I know you don't sell stuff as I have tried repeatedly, so I apologize. I may also have an unfair advantage at knowing just how much you are spending on this engine. At least, I could guess on the rest! I still would always offer to buy, what could be leftover. Sorry for the bother though.

I'll buy it!!!

Tom, I don't think it happened because there are no pictures!!

I knew I had seen Gary's Dash 9 upgrades. I found them on Ray's pages at the bottom. Amazing work!! http://www.rayman4449.com/Aristocraft_Dash-9_E-8_SD45_Mods.htm#Dash-9_Lowering_Project

I had to search for this build for inspiration on mine! I love it!!!

Now it looks like 80% chance of rain, 80% of the week. So............ I'm back at it. It's just the layout stages so be kind. Soon I'll figure out where to go next! Lots of screens to make. & I hate making screens!
