I was thinking of doing one of these in G scale and 1.5 live steam. Have any tips on how to do it?

I took a N scale U50 and did a drawing, scaled it up to 1:29 and

went crazy. Photo's of her being built on photobucket under CAJONJP U%) album

Good luck and let me know how you do. Mine took 10 months.

My typing is lacking of late, I meant to say CAJONJP U50 album on Photobucket.

PM me and we can talk about the drawing. I used two Aristo U25B's for the motors, electrics and main body sections. The rest was hand made. You can see her run at the LA Co. Fair this year in Pomona Ca.
