The classic "Canadian Pacific" in script was becoming a rare sight on the Esqumalt & Nanaimo Railway when this photo was taken on July 16, 1991 at Wellcox Yards in Nanaimo, Vancouver Island.
Basically v4.0 of my 8-wide GP38-2, but now battery-powered and with correctly scaled trucks. Also some improvements overall.
During my work on v3.0 I quickly noticed the proportions on the engine are generally good, but somewhat off - a slightly too long nose with the cab being too far backwards by just a bit, which also resulted in a too short long hood. Chris Stone later proposed a similar approach to what he did on the SD40-2 redesign: Shift the whole engine body by half a stud in relation to the frame.
Here's the result. Tons of jumpers in there. Proportions are spot-on now. The nose got a plate-height shorter, resulting in a less uncanny face. The cab is shifted forward by half a stud, so the long hood could grow by a stud in length, too. Overall, very happy with the result.
Powered by a single PU L-motor on the rear truck. The front one is unpowered, which came from limitations on the internal space. The city hub runs on PyBricks with the famous train motor control script. The trucks are geared up with a 1:1.67 ratio for some additional speed. Overall, the pulling power is okay-ish with that single L-motor approach, but in general it's probably best to just build a lashup with two identical engines.
Most of the decals are from the BNSF SD40-2 kit available on BMR, I just slapped a different road number on it and used some home-printed yellow striping, also black vinyl tape (better color accuracy). 3D printed train wheels by OKBrickWorks, purchased at BTD.
Thanks once again to Chris Stone for all your input and nudging me into redesigning the engine with that 1/2 stud shift. Best decision ever.
She sat on top her favorite rock and waved good bye to the passing sailors. She knew her father would never understand this yearned she had to be a part of the land rather than the sea. She wanted to feel the land beneath her feet..rather than the waves through her fins. She dreamt of a world that she could never be a part of.... but what did she know? She was only a mermaid...
The "Ariel" bracelet is composed of beautiful genuine red coral branches, freshwater and keishi pearls along with beautiful bali findings. For added embellishment there are four peruvian briolettes along with a blue chalcedony briolette with a white topaz stone set into it that really stands out. Everything is held together on sterling silver wire.
For anyone who believes in fantasies of a world beneath the ocean...this bracelet is a perfect gift. Composed of colors that remind you of the sea, the "Ariel" bracelet will be a constant memory of the fairytales you once believed in when you were young.
This bracelet has a matching set of earrings.
