Hey all,

I've been whittling away at this project for a couple years and now it's finished.

This is a USA Trains GP38-2 modified to represent DT&I's version of thier Bicentennial unit.

It's 1/29 scale. Battery powered Airwire R/C DCC with a Soundtraxx DSX sound decoder also.

Enjoy!

looks great. Just curious, but do you have any HO scale stuff to put next to it. I would be interested to see the size difference.
 
Thanks guys,

Aaron: I don't have much HO (only a couple cars I plan on using as reference to scratchbuild some in my scale). Speaking of scale....1/29 is exactly 3 times the size of HO. So, it's 3 times as long...3 times as wide...and 3 times as tall....that increases the mass by a lot! What HO I have I can't compare apples for apples but maybe these 2 pics will help. I set the HO all door car on a 50' boxcar for you also.

Thanks again guys,

Littlefoot: It's made out of plastic. It has onboard batteries controlled by CVP Airwire900 R/C DCC with a Soundtraxx DSX sound decoder. Each truck has a can motor inside it. Great speed control and no track cleaning...in fact it will run anywhere.

WHAT ?:confused: get a weed-eater engine in it !:D:D:D no need for sound decoder anymore !
 
Brian...that is SWEEEEEET!! I love the comparison. Never realized how much bigger than HO it is until you see it like that.

Great work!!
