Very nice. The light blue hoses on the front remind me of Davy Jones from Pirates of the Carribean.

Auscision Models have shown some pictures of the final samples of their EL class diesel locomotive. I saw a sample of this at the Melbourne show and they were very impressive.
Here are some pictures from their site.

QUOTE (Doug @ 7 Aug 2007, 05:22) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Something wrong with the cogs...
The worm gear from the motor shaft drives a cog with about 20 teeth. That then drives two cogs, one with 13 teeth and another with 16 teeth. They in turn drive one axle each from a 14 tooth cog. Surely one axle will turn at a different rate to the other?
You've got an eye for detail Doug.
It might be worth seeing one of these run before buying one then!

Here's some pictures of the final samples with paint on. The detail looks very good on these.

I'd say it was a CAD version of a typo. I'm sure they must have test run it by now.
