Yes! I certainly would cosider it!

 

What type of shell did you use ? and.......how much you looking to get for a
finished & running example ?

It is a reworked Bachmann shell that has been shaved clean and detailed. Im thinking around $250-$300 range as these will be complete working models.

 

That sounds like a steal! Especially since it's built on the Kato GS4 mechanism!

I wish I could put my name down, but finances say otherwise.

 

Wow nice looking engine! I'd be interested in one. That is exactly what we need another 80 inch driver good job!!!!!

 

I know jason! I dont think ANYONE wants those FEFs either!!!

Mark, there will be more than one being done. Ill make however many everyone wants!

 

Put me down for one or two please! I'm seious and have cash in hand!:tb-biggrin:

 

If it was a 3751 class, then I would be all about it. Not a huge fan of the 2900s, but I think you will have no problem unloading these!

 

3751-class with short tender is next. i already have 10 tender castings in hand and ready to go under the GS4 tender frames!

 

Then count me in. I used to be a member of the SBRHS and got to tour the 3751 at Redondo. I have a picture of my grandfather in the cab of 3759 and a very similar shot of me in the cab of the 3751. What are you using for the boiler? THe bachman as too?

 

i have a very good casting coming for the next northerns

 

Count me in too! My gut feeling tells me you would probably get a really good response on these. And if you ever consider doing any FEFs I will be one of the first in line(hint hint!)

 

Someone on here posted resin castings they made for an FEF. It was within the last week or 2

 

jason an i are partnering on the locos hence the timeline of both castings

 

Beautiful FEF

I too would love 2 of these. Beautiful engines! Please E-mail me when you are able to sell them!

 

Lever, there's no FEF's in this thread, just mention of them

 

Sorry, had FEF on the brain.

 

I'd be interested in one with the long tender.

Heres the newly cast short tenders. I do have one question for everyone, the trucks arent an exact match to a santa fe short tender but would everyone rather have the ral truck which will take time to build and cast plus raise the price or would everyone like to have the stock GS4 tender frame with factory trucks, pick ups, decoder hookups and all?

This is just for the short tender as the long is a whole differents story.
