hybrid GE/EMD monster

[fgrsud]

This monster is the result of the conversion of old U-18 GE locomotives which were used only frames, traction motors, fuel tanks and bogies, the rest of the equipment is GP35 and GP38 EMD locomotives, I leave some links to pictures of these locomotives

And here I leave some pictures of the model I am making on the basis of a GP-35




the bogies are not what they would have to be but are most similar and are the ones that had saved for years and I remembered that I had, are an Alco C-628 for model power.

with the help of my brother the engine is mechanically functional here are 3 pictures of the mechanics



the engine is brand Frateschi and bogies are brand Model power, in these latest images and has completed the handrails



and again I apologize if I express myself well in English

Interesting build. Anxious to see the end product. Are you going to re-guage the width of the trucks or use as is

Nice job, always neat to see the odd ball locomotives modeled.
