In Aug/Sept 2009, based on pictures from John McCall's book, "The Doodlebug" I kitbashed two Aristo Heavyweight Combines, some Doodlebug parts, and other fabricated parts into "The Ultimate Doodlebug" the "Old Pelican" # M-190. A unique doodlebug, she was articulated and had a 900hp distilate/diesel motor. Operation was from 1931 to 1967 from Kansas to Texas, to New Mexico.
The model is seen in this video operating on the snowy HedgeApple~RioGram RR, in Wichita, KS, on New Year's Day, 2010. I can't think of a better way to begin the new decade.
The model uses QSI RC-sound, with the NCE Gwire ProCab controller, with a range greater than 250 ft.
