Dol--A might--Phus,

Nice bag of bring it -- dreaming is the door, brother.

I'm into that Jack action.

A very good bit red beard Darth Vader.

Back when he was a true breeder of fear...

Not some whiny kids sad daddy.

I do not dig that Vader... I was into his out in the edges of the galaxy outlaw action more.

A freight car bogie or truck partially "imagineered" by me

[dolphus]

And here are some 3 Axel Bogies

[dolphus]

The start of the first half my next project 16 Axel s of a 32 Axel Schnabel type car for carrying ultra heavy or large dimentioned loads like Nuclear Reactors, Long storage tanks, mirrors for Astronomical telescopes and Electric transformers

[Crazy Eyes]

Very nice. I'm actually building a low-poly train for a BF1942 Mod (Global Front). Looking at your pics have helped me to understand how trains work and so how to construct it. Thanks

[dolphus]

Hi Crazy Eyes you are welcome and i am glad i could help believe it or not i have only just started to get an idea of how trains etc work. If i can help just ask (believe me i have got tons of reference material by now)
Here is the next element in the Schanabel type car another 16 axle unit (one of 2 required in the car

[dolphus]

Remember my Gas Turbine loco/ weoo here is its fuel tender:-

And here is the loco with it's refueling tender

[Ultimatez 32]

Great modeling dolphus! You should check out my finished GP15 here: viewtopic.php?f=81&t=22219#p187016

[dolphus]

Flashback to my first posted loco a EMD GP 9 looking at ultimatez 32's GP 15 made me dig into my archives possibly as a future project i can re-paint and tart up the loco a bit
