Well, I had life decide to smack me upside the head for a while here (IE: classes, both the regular and summer semester being very tough) but I'm back to the DDM45.
So far, progress has been interesting. I shortened the DD40 frame to match the prototype, now I'm working on the trucks being regauged. The old metal trucks are good for this but it requires some interesting work grinding the wheels, as they are 2-peice wheels and narrowing them means they will create a short unless I grind down the axles so each side does not touch. I should have one truck completed this week and will move to the next truck soon.
Now to get some pictures...
Pedro, as for your BB trucks, I'll be very happy to buy a ton of those from you
I've got a tunnel motor shell that needs to be a BB40T-2 quite badly!
As a side note for knowledgable kitbashers on the forum, where can I get a really nice SD45 shell that has an accurate cab? Or some information on techniques to chop up several shells?
Thanks all, and I'll get some pics of that frame asap
