That real loco is an embarrassment, you wouldn't want to draw that unit for lead unit duties.

Having said that I do like the idea to use the real loco as "inspiration" for a Big Blue "Fallen Flag" members tribute.

I recognize many of the names, but I hadn't realized a few of them had passed on. Sounds like a good idea to me!

That's how I justified designing it.... Here is the link to the forum where we have some of each person's work:

I have one of Robin's locomotives and two of his cardstock buildings he made and named the industries after me (Catt).

Damn, I still miss that man. Sad

I still have the N gauge engine house he made.

Yup --- Him, shamus, and Jeffrey.... We had some great times! Now all we have are memories.

So will this Frankenstein Diesel have a sound chip inside so that when it is started up the voice of Dr Frankenstein will yell;

"It's Alive, my Monster is ALIVE!!!!

Someone you care about maybe gone, but if you still think favourably of them from time to time, then they are not forgotten.

No, no sound.

I agree.... as long as you think of them from time to time, they still live on in memories Smile

I still have the 2 holes of the mini golf, the On30 engine and the trees from Shamus and I still have the HO truck from Jeffrey, and the Engine house and an NARA leased U25-B G scale engine from Robin (and Catt), so I guess I'm remembering them pretty well Smile

If I can find an engine... The nose will be the Big Blue logo

The sides will have parts of the following logos:

Conrail or Penn Central - Chessie4155
Something to do with GERN - jmarksbery
Curtis Steel - Matthyro (Robin)
Lehigh Susquehanna & Western - P5se Camelback - Bil Marsland
Louisiana & Arkansas - Running Bear/Jeffrey Wimberly/Dr. Frank-n-Diesel
Coon Creek - Shamus - Paul Templer
Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha - "Omaha Road" - Stienjr
WT - WT fan
MBL - yellowlynn - Lynn Canfield

Have to see what I come up with in the drawings, but I'm guessing half on each side. That way. the loco will be a tribute to all the Big Blue "Fallen Flag members"....

Any ideas will be most welcome Big Grin Big Grin

I haven't been to any yard sales or flea markets that were selling trains Sad Here is what i designed for the side of an engine or other car:
