MEC 401 Was a solid performer. Looking forward to seeing it run with twin 400.

The little engine that could. Powered by a single M-motor at 3:1 gear ratio, this thing could haul anything I threw at it except Train 17 up the corner grade.

GT 3406 and CN 5288 side by side. Despite two very different classes and wheel arrangements they share a remarkably similar appearance.

Two weeks to Brickfair

3406 is still on the workbench. Should be good to go in time. Runs nice on the test track.

GT N-4-a

85% Complete Borrows heavily from my E-7-a design since the real thing did as well. Oh, and I love consolidations.

Grand Trunk 713 (WIP)

So I'm back to building after a 2-month hiatus. Built in 1900, and assigned to Island Pond, VT, this little mogul worked the GT NE line until 1954 when it was selected to haul the Canadian National museum train across Canada. From the mid 40s until 1954, it was the primary power on the 7.5 mile long Lewiston Branch mixed train. It is preserved at Exporail outside of Montreal. The design is about 75% complete. The chassis is undergoing testing and the results are very promising.
