Everyone knows of TrainFreak409’s huge diesel loco he designed. Well, I have created a “company” that “builds” locos as well. Here is the first loco in our line, the C6000C (Crawford 6000hp C-C trucks) painted in Scott Squad Railroad colors.
This locomotive is designed for medium-duty road switching. With 6000 horsepower, you know it can get the job done. Look for our exciting new line of 1000-3000hp switchers coming soon!
Special thanks to Scott Bowman, president of the Scott Squad Railroad, for allowing us to feature his vibrant paint scheme on our new locomotive.
Three (3) Q’s that hopefully can be followed with three (3) A’s
1)When does production start?
2)Also, does the C6000C come in the BNSF H2 or H3 paint scheme?
3)Where can I see TrainFreak409’s huge diesel loco he designed?
Scott Squad is very pleased with their CDLI locomotives. All of Scott Squad’s Crawfords have performed well, and have exceed our expectations. You can be sure that we will be ordering more from CDLI, as our own shops are being stretch quite a bit right now.
BNU30C–The picture has been supplied for you by CSXGuy. I have more pictures, if you are interested, from that diesel, to steam, to nuclear powered turbines.
Where is the wind up spool for the electric extension cord for the “electric” locomotive. And what is a diesel locomotive company doing building “electrics”!!! Is steam next??
I use PowerPoint. I mainly use AutoShapes for the locos and WordArt for the logos. It’s complitcated. I think Scott uses some other program like a CAD. And don’t forget, Atlas Tool Company made trains, so can’t a diesel loco company make electrics?
Two 5-axle articulated trucks on the EE-48-15000HF! What an animal! The DD40AXs were considered 5000 HP rail straighteners with 4-axle rigid trucks, but you took the design and solved the problem, and with another axle to boot! Wow!
I think the engine designs are great. Very creative and eye-catching. Will you actually try to build a running model of one of them?
USPSCSX–I use a Macintosh program AppleWorks 6. It is a simple art program, and all of my locomotives and graphics are made just by layering basic shapes and custom polygons. Really easy to use. They may have a PC version of it. If they do, I need to get it.
mcouvillion–I see you are impressed with the EE-48-15000HF. I have every intention of building at least one of each of my models when I am more experienced, and have the supplies and money. Now, if Mom ever hits the MegaMillions, I’ll have a manufacturing company to build production models.
I’ve been doing something simlar to that for a while, but using Michael Eby’s locomotive drawings from http://trainiax.0catch.com/mescaleloco.htm . Here’s a big daddy, what I call the DD80MAX.
2 5,000 HP SD80MACs under one frame, so I guess that makes for 10,000 HP. Dang…
Its much easier to use the paint program.Mt and my friend, wctransfer, combined fictional railroads and had to repaint and spice up the engines. Paint did it all.
