Well here goes my first try at photos. Hope this works. All these engines are 1/16" scale.
F40PH

GE 20 Ton with two 20 Ton models

Unlimited diesel power. Four of the same, MU'd together

All of these engines are scratch built as there are no kits. All it takes is a little skill and a lot of patience.

Well I don't know what I did wrong but it didn't work, sorry about that. I'll try again, after I talk to someone who knows. Rob

IHSteve. Thanks a lot. Still have a lot to learn with these confusers, sometimes I'd like to reboot it right out the window!!! Yes I use Photobucket and I though that I was following what Lou said, but must have missed something along the line. I'll keep trying and sooner or later I'll get it right.

Steamer you got a major interest right here A GP38 will be my first . I just haven't found any drawings with some kind of measurement on them . I like your Idea for the traction motor . I had 2 of those ac units in my bone yard but they're fate is ugly (scrapped ) . I have the plans for a live steamer but thats on the back burner for now ( prob. till I get more grays ) are you trying to post your pics from photobucket ? you need to use the IMG code . I usually do copy paste that way nothing gets messed up.

Wow. That F40PH is gorgeous! Do you have any more pictures of that loco? Amazing, knowing you've built these up from raw materials.

Thanks Nathon, Glad you like it. Here's one more for you. What I regret most, when I was building these locomotives that I didn't take more photos of the builds. Here's another one from the same train show and I'll see what I can find this weekend. Rob
