I was thinking on building the Z scale version (I have the kit already). 

Sorry for the thread hijack Jason.

I'm thinking of doing a magazine article about it (and most editors do not like to publish stuff which was already shown on the Interwebs).

Jason,
As others have reflected, great to have you back on deck, in my case a great incentive to get back to my AC-9, I look forward to your other projects as well, in more ways than one as I am sure you will realise.

If I recall correctly, doesn't the MP metal shell hold the motor in place?  What modifications did you make?

[UP4-8-8-4]

Honeymoon's over, already got kicked out of the house ------- LOL

I don't think Railroad Model Craftsman has any problem with it... just sayin'...
Besides, as long as you write an article with some other photos and technical details of how you made the model (some "value added" that wasn't on the web), it would still be useful and worth paying for to readers.
