[n8phu]

Currently I have in the works:

C424, C425, C430, C628, C630, C636, M630, M636, and anything else I can manage to squeeze out of it....

Reskinnable units are planned.... just need more time to work on them.

But of course........ those units that had them.... I am a bit of a rivet counter proto modeler...

An admirable project Chris. I would love to see some big Alco's. I've always had a soft spot in my heart for those brutes.

Cheers,
Fred

P.S. I'm working on your request as we speak...errr...write.

Thank you sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar.....

and I promise not to tell anyone

Additional: I Figured I would take some sage advice I read in the GE U boat thread. Alco used a lot of the same components so as a first time project, I could use it for additional projects and get a few under my belt without having to make a slew of parts.....

Ah, the ex N&W units that the CNW bought......... I always thought the green and yellow looked good on them.....

Speaking of N&W, hmmmmmm, might need some train master trucks.....

the last image is what i can remember as a kid i never saw them in anything else except ore pellet drags...man were they LOUD and shook the ground and blacked out the sun in a cloud of exhaust. i also thought the more ORANGE shade of the cnw colors looked better than the pale yellow like in the 2nd image with the safety stripe dash's along the frames/walkways and of course a beacon on the top .

How's the progress going on these? We need some huffing smokers!

Would you consider doing the Australian exported ones as well? Like the C636s C628s M636s and others? I can't reskin and it would be nice to see one from an expert such as yourself
