WOW, that great. Its nice to see someone build these unique locomotives, and do such a good job at it.

I have wanted to build a seldomly modeled locomotive such as those.

Very nicely done!!!

Beautiful work! I can appreciate the many hours spent on these.

#5

wow!

very impressive

Very cool. I see someone has an obsession with motor cars. Excellent work on very unique one of a kind models. I love it.

While they are all great that UP M-23 is just very classy

Nice work, Norman. Even in the thirties, the era of high styling and Art Deco, not all designs would win a beauty contest. No reflection on your work, of course.

I know right. That could make a guy actually like dino burners.

Devon, they could, they really could. Them newfangled, cantankerous, unproven, deisel-lectric things are right pretty.

#17

Superb and skilful modelling Norman. It is welcome to see more unusual models.

#18

AWESOME!

Excellent, Norm… They’re great. I really enjoy seeing “bashes” like that. Something very much out of the ordinary…

Very, very well done…
