A lot of top shelf modelling this week, very inspiring!

Here's a few pictures of my GP38-2W project

The cabs are pretty much done, just waiting for some Atlas/BLMA window wipers. Also milling the noses of the donor chassis to accept nose LEDs. The cabs are equipped with fibre optic headlights and lenses.

These look pretty darn nice. Briggs?

I'm a day late, but here's a photo of my recent project.

It's a TTRAK command station with wired DC, wireless DC and DCC.



Ah, bunch of knobs with no legends - I love to randomly tweak those to see what happens!

I had the same thought and will enjoy randomly exploring what does what this weekend!

To me, the GP38-2W would be a natural for Atlas to do given their GP40-2W... hurry up and finish your pair so they can make the announcement  :D

So I hope you put together a how-to on this awesome build!

Job security.   :trollface:

“That’ll be $10,000 for setting up the T Trak layout command station buddy.”

“$10,000?!?! Why is it so expensive??”

“Well, I charged $5 for hooking up the system and $9,995 for knowing where to set all the knobs to.”

Hahaha. That's actually incredibly ironic, for reasons I'm not going to get into right now, lol

Yep. That's the plan. At least for my website, maybe for a magazine.

Looks good (and legible now), but it was fun to bust your cookies for a spell.  :D

ugh. You just reminded me I need to make one of those. My DCS 52 is going to be wrecked if I keep just bringing it places loose bcs ppl like to lie about how thoroughly they test their power poles and non club approved electronic towers.
