Really intresting. It looks a bit like an old fairbanks-morse with EMD trucks. Would you mind telling us what compontents were used to build it?

DRLOCO, It's a low cost model and, like some old Athearn models (SD9, for example), it is not in exact scale (approximately 1:78). It's a DC model, but decoders are easily installed. According to the fotos you sent, the CN prototype would be modeled with the conventional cab models and EMD's demo with the spartan cab model. For this last one the trucks would require deep modifications. Trucks are not visible for the CN prototype photo, but I guess they are FlexCoil ones. Visit www.frateschi.com.br.
