Unknown Country: United Kingdom | Posts: 3951 centercab Engine Wiper Posted - 06/25/2012 :  06:59:23 AM     I like this...it's a lot larger than I thought. ------------------------- Chuck Country: USA | Posts: 225 BigLars Fireman Premium Member Posted - 06/25/2012 :  7:00:54 PM     The critter is a little bigger than the Bachmann Davenport and Porter but I bet is small compaired to an o scale Dash 8 or oh my a Big Boy! A very cool engine now thinking about what drive to use for the second critter I have.

Look forward to the finished paint job. John Country: United Kingdom | Posts: 225 BigLars Fireman Premium Member Posted - 06/30/2012 :  4:24:44 PM     Thanks John, I have been running in the drive and it is smoooooth and quite. The drive is a keeper. Country: USA | Posts: 7479 Tommatthews Fireman Premium Member Posted - 06/30/2012 :  4:26:34 PM     Larry, The primer turned out good. She will look nice in yellow and black. Country: | Posts: 7349 MinerFortyNiner Fireman Premium Member Posted - 07/01/2012 :  12:47:20 AM       Looking good, Larry! Did you have to mess with the drive mechanism to tweak it, or did it always perform this way? Country: USA | Posts: 2027 Geezer Fireman Premium Member Posted - 07/01/2012 :  06:15:54 AM     WAY TO GO!!! Looks good ta me!! Yellow "V" safety stripes on the rear oc the cab? (Good idea) The unit as a whole looks good Larry....JMO, but I think diesel (D-cell) critters should be a bigger than the other narrow gauge critters in comparison. All mine are.... Looking fwd to da finish!!!

You have done well on this...and finished it.
