What impresses me is the amount of craftsmanship that comes out of your shop with such precision and so quickly. This indeed has been a labor of love. Thank you for sharing your work. Bravo!

Thanks a bunch, I've been working on this one on and off for 2 years, really made a push since Fall York (getting the castings made, then figuring out the drives. Have had the machined steel drive wheels for a while now, and collected parts (gears, pantographs, motors etc). Will be building another 5 in the near term, I can pretty much get anything for THIS engine made new. For some of the other locos, they rely on MTH parts, so that will be getting tougher in the future (like the big Challenger, that uses 2 bild a loco motors and a bunch of 400E and 385E parts.

Really appreciate the kind words.
