Description
For such a small engine it sure ate up a lot of time, probably 7 or 8+ hours in the end but it was worth it, it was a big learning experience

I thought I'd have a go making something myself that wasn't based around a bogie design. It turns out it's a bit of a weak point of mine, who'd have guessed after looking at my gallery being filled with bogie designs? Not me...

Anyway, here's my first fixed wheel engine, a little shunting critter for medium to large yards and short transfer service (if required to go and pick up some wagons from a siding for example). It can MU with bigger engines and be run up to mainline speeds however it is best suited to slow lugging. I have no idea what kind of engine powers it at the moment so I'll probably make something up one day but it would have around about 1,200hp at its disposal through an AC traction system. The torpedoes on the roof are a pair of nice big air reservoirs for when it needs to charge up a long rake of wagon brakes to move them without having to wait for 10 minutes.

A couple other views of this critter can be found here:

fav.me/da3knne

All feedback and questions are welcome, I'm interested to see what people think of what I make

Loco design and model were created by me and are copywrite
If you want to share and repost it ask first, taking the pic and reuploading it elsewhere without asking is a massive dick move that'll make me want to punch you in the face
