Why oh why didnt Bachmann make this instead of the centercab, even I might have bought one.
Good question. And I concur with your "Great model, great subject, looking forward to seeing it painted up"

RYM has an O scale version in brass, for std gauge or On3. I’ve been telling Rich there is a market for an F scale (1/20.3) version.

Nice build with some great detail here Eric.
Welcome aboard.

Very impressive work, would love to see how you did the door hinges
Thanks for your question Mark. I made the hinges from evergreen 080 rod profiles, very simple but it looks nice to me.

Welcome Eric! That’s a very nice looking locomotive. Do you have any pictures of it under construction?

Welcome!
I agree with the comments, fantastic work, great models on your website too!

Excellent! We love pictures here!!!
Welcome aboard Eric!

Holy Cats!!! Thats some great work…will have to get my NG Diseasel Project going some day

Very nice Eric. I love steam, but being a kid when 1st. and 2nd gen. diesels were everywhere leaves as soft spot for them as well.

Welcome aboard! That’s some great work on your loco!

Hello It has been a month ago since I wrote about my SP No. 1. In the meantime I added more details and went to the paintshop. The results can be seen on the photos.

First inspection and tests of the crew. The next steps will be; add cab interior and more details and add lettering. Thanks Matthew who is also building a GE 50 ton, I do have photos of the interior now. Regards Eric www.largescaleworld.npage.de

Definately a nice build!

Really nice!

yeah, what Bob & Bart said… :slight_smile:

Nice work. Paint job looks great

Hello again I added a cab interior made from styrene sheets. As I could not find any photos of the cab interior of Southern Pacific No. 1, I used photos of similar General Electric narrow gauge locomotives. I did use custom made dry transfers from Blackham transfers from Engeland.

Last week I did exhibited my locomotive with my SP freight train at the American Railroadfan Convention in Adliswil, Switzerland and won a convention award with my models. Photos of the convention can be found here; http://largescaleworld.npage.de/galerie362053.html Regards Eric http://largescaleworld.npage.de/

Very cool. I wish Bmann made this instead of the centercab, even I’d want one.

Very Impressive!!! Nicely Done!
