Canadian Pacific O Scale - GP38

Interesting. Is this going to be a full scratch-build?

Andy Dallibar
Yep, apart from the brass undercarriage (bogeys). I was left a part built GP40 when my dad passed away, trouble is he got the dimensions wrong and it was 4cm too short, and not the right height.
I have to consider that if it's wrong, it is not correct, and the task will be harder to amend the build to match its size.

So I'm starting again. I found some drawings online and scaled them using Photoshop. I intend to RC it too. Then I'll have to lay some track in the garden.

Go for it.

Pull up a chair and watch this scratch build. I'm sure CP rail would want to see this.
