"Steamers" Builds and collection

That is very cool, steamer. To the best of my knowledge, there are no 1/16 scale diesel electric kits out there, or am I wrong? You must have machined just about everything yourself. The trucks included? That kind of takes modeling to a whole new standard. I imagine how easy it is to super detail a model of this size. You don't even need tweezers to hold the parts and instead of glue, it can be bolted or welded together. Nice.

Thanks. Ya, I scratch built the SD back in 84 when I worked for a large company in Guelph Ontario. Had a large fabricating company at my disposal. Realy is nice to use a couple of mill $ of someone elses equipement. I realy miss that facility now, I would put it to good use building the 2-8-2.
