haha you read my mind! I plan on doing a WECX 801 after I complete the 32 axle one. I want to start with the 32 axle one because there's more symmetry which allows for easier and faster part production. I modeled an O scale 36 axle schnabel years ago before I had any concept of manufacturing. It needs very significant refinement before I could even begin to make parts. The way I intend to deal with articulation is exactly how the real one does it! just a ball and socket milled right into the wood. I'm a little concerned how that's going to perform in scale. I ruminated about that decision a lot. Only 1 way to find out if it's going to work or not! You certainly wouldn't be able to pull a lot of cars after it... but they don't in real life! so that's ok with me
