EMD Model 40

Post by JohnHudak »

Here's a pic of the EMD Model 40.. Still a few cosmetic details to add, but for the most part it's done..
Hope to take it to the track on Saturday for its first test run..

Can't tell scale. 1.5" or 2.5"? Nice looking whatever it is!

At the club yesterday with the model 40... It ran great with no problems.. I have it set up so it can use either one or two 350 watt motors, but so far one motor is plenty powerful.. It was accelerating up grade with myself and another rider on the flatcar..
