Nice

[nyshortline]

WOW!! An FP-45 with a bulldog nose!!

[Mechknight73]

A full sized version of this one works near where I live. Designated GM36, she still has most of her Commonwealth Railways livery, except for where it's carboned up, and the graffitti has been painted over

[JBofBrisbane]

@Mechknight73 - the S (GM12) series is different from the CL class, but has the same EMD nose.

[Mechknight73]

@JBofBrisbane Far as I can tell, from the outside it seems that the main differences are with the cooling fans in the roof, the layout of the windows up the sides, but not much else externally

[JBofBrisbane]

@Mechknight73 - The CL class was longer, and had that "semi-octagonal" roof profile, whereas the GM's roof was curved over.

[Mechknight73]

@JBofBrisbane This one was definitely the sleek lines of a GM, despite the graffitti, carbon staining (hasn't had a decent bath in decades) and satellite tracking apparatus on its roof

i have an old one DC

which was made by hornby

[JBofBrisbane]

@jmsschooner - wow, I knew Hornby did a Victorian S-class in OO, but I didn't know they painted it up as a GM as well. Love to see a photo or vid. See my comment to Mechknight re difference between a GM and a CL.

[modellbaupresse]

Which ESU soundfile project did you use?

Thanks for help

[2005GLI]

its amazing how these australian loco's look so much like america's E8/9's.

[pennsyr1]

2005GLI, the company responsible for the construction of the real locos, Clyde Engineering, was a licensee of EMD. Clyde adapted EMD's technologies and designs to suit the needs of Australian customers, hence the similarity to our North American EMD and GMD locos.

You Killed My CLF Sound Clip On Lambing Flat

!!!

[tpvalley]

Thanks myred02, I'll have a look.

[BOROCKHARDJR]

RIGHT ON B_MAN!!!

[tpvalley]

Brilliant!

I wish simple non dcc sound was possible, so when my normal trains moved an engine sound existed, when the voltage stops, sound stops etc.

[alexdavid93]

Is it a jet or a train

[PoathJunction]

Sounding good - I think my CLP's will need the treatment now.

[BNSF5608]

Darn you! I need that same engine sound for my MRL SD40-2! Hmm, Gotta go witha BN horn since MRL 250 is ex BN. Gotta love ESU!

[LambingFlat]

Nice sounding loco John!
