Your bringing tears to my eyes. I vote that Randy should add this model to one of our monthly forum logo's. What a fantastic job you did on this model from start to finish!  |

That is a thing of beauty....
If Bowser does not come out with one soon I may need to follow in your footsteps and build some 636's of my own...
Again this is BEAUTIFUL!!!

Wow, I appreciate all the compliments, and was blown away when I opened the forum and saw the header photo this morning!
The prime mover is actually the Walthers EMD 567 block kit with some pieces added on from my scrap box. I found a photo of an Alco 251 in a service manual I have and went from there. I only modified 1 power assembly as that is all you can see.

I believe this is the best build ever displayed here at the Detailer, and if there is another this year I will give it the same accolades as this one. I hope my C430 build turns out looking half as good as this one.

What a great looking model of a beast of an MLW. The open hood doors really add to it. Congrats on best 09 build!
