Just have a few minor issues to work out but it's on the road.

Cool, these were on my to-do list, in the various models.

I'm not planning any other versions, really this is just AI traffic going through Fonda for the FJ&G. I do have a shot of the real control stand but my model is using a P-42 can which is close enough for me. Could still do one or three Ian. Do you us TS Modeler by any chance?

Hi Paul, all my models are made with TS Modeler. I have lots of images of these but, still need to find schematics for them. It would be a while before they hit the tracks though.

Hi Ian,
There are no schematics for these, best I found were schematics for "TurboTrain ETG", similar but not the same. The only measurements I had to work with were truck spacing, wheel spacing and overall coach length, plus the truck spacing on the power units was 2 feet wider. Everything else was eyeballed.
If you would like a look at the TSM files, PM me, might save you some time.

Paul :-)
