the GS-1 looks great!!! Otto, Jason still does all of these by himself, but I agree there is something going on.........I think he is a ROBOT and hopefully his battery pack will last forever!!!!!!!!!HAHA Gordon

Amen to that!

 You are Amazing. It's hard to believe you have a DAY job, a wife, and the kids, and still turn these out so fast. I need to get back down there again sometime.

Jason...
Did you swap out the main rods from the original "J" rods? They look a bit "finer"....

[superturbine]

Thanks good friends!

Like I have hinted at before... 4 small children= 40 small fingers!! 

Mike, I did not change the rods or even file them down.  I simply took engine black  (the same weathering color on the drivers) and painted the rods to create and allusion of smaller rods.  If I fooled you a little it must have worked!!!!

Rodney, you welcome anytime!

Gordon, superglue will give you that extra KICK!

Superturbine, I sent you a detail shot of a couple of the tenders equipped with doghouses. Supposedly, the Pacific Lines guys in the SPT&HS did not believe that any GS-1's were doghouse equipped until Joe Dale Morris produced several photos of GS-1's in service in Texas with them.

Another stunner Jason.  I'm so Jealous.  I think you have mastered the door between two worlds (DAMN, I miss Fringe) and the second version of you makes some while you are sleeping, and vice-versa.  How's that Bachmann mech run under it? 

[superturbine]

Thanks for the great photos David!!  I forwarded a few to you from Carl.  I think you will like them.

Lemo, thanks man!!!  The Bachmann mechanism runs good but I did change out the motor on this one.  The stock motor is pretty small and know for developing a dead pole.
