Watching with interest, I am a 25 enthusiast, heres one of mine on one of my other interests!!

Incidentally that one is A Bachmann 00 factory fitted sound version cost £109 ( thats all in) and the sound is absolutely brilliant ESU sound decoder etc
 
Must admit to a bit of a soft spot for the baby sulzers. Will watch this with interest.
 
A big project and a terrific start. I'm looking forward to future updates as well.
Excellent :thumbup:
 
Inspiration for tackling the Krauss-Maffei Southern Pacific diesel hydraulic body and motor blocks I've got for a rainy day.....
 
You might need this when it's finished!

You reminded me I found a handful of old diesel loco manuals years ago in a flea-market!

PS - love the sweeping trackwork and scenery on the N gauge layout!
 
Nice work. You seem to have the patience that I once had. Keep us posted.
 
Wonderful modelling - you're a whizz with the plasticard! Looking forward to your postings.

Is that plasticard or foam board you are using? Very impressive. Im thinking of scratch buliding a GWR ish style autocoach using 3mm foam board. Any Tips on using the stuff to make a body?
 
Having already built 2 Uk outline diesels if you can count Ireland I can appreciate the work involved they are far more complicated to construct than most people re-alise. very complex shapes and transitions plus having to workout how practical it should be for future maintanence. Someone on here and G scale mad had constructed a body of a 25/2 and we have heard no more. Keep us all posted on progress ! I am being pushed by some good freinds to build a class 37 in G scale with full sound bye ESU Loco lok XL chip all this I find very tempting . At the moment though good luck and it looks spot on ! :thumbup:
