Hi Everyone,Work is still continuing on the C855, I've just finished the main locomotive and am going on to detailing. The loco is now made of 3 parts; the two bolsteres and their respective trucks and the main body, this allows both bolsters and trucks to be animated.Please post any comments etc.I have included three pics....-Paul

RE: Alco C855 Progress Update

Looking good, Paul. I like what I see! That's an interesting trick that you've used to get everything running.That beastie should look real good in the sim when you finish, and I'll bet it'll be a heck of a lot more popular than the prototype. <g>Thanks for the update.Henry

RE: Alco C855 Progress Update

Paul,
Great work. I see that the all important trucks have the right amount of detail. It looks to be great 5500 HP, UP yellow monster. Will you have the 60, 61B and 61 combo?Pete
