(W.I.P) ALCo Slug Unit

[ryan9550]

This is the first unit. It's still in the early stages.


This is the plan I'm using. I have no idea what it use to be, but based on pictures I've seen it could possibly have been an RS-3.

Because I've seen a lot of pictures of various alcos converted into slugs, I was thinking of making a variety of different slug units. Let me know if that would be a good idea.

Neat idea! It looks similar to the GP9 based slugs that CN uses in my area.

Here's another idea for you if you're interested.

Wow, very Interesting, kinda looks like a RS3 To Be Honest

Yeah, that's what I thought. It looks like an RS-3 with a shorter hood.

That looks GREAT, but if I could make a humble suggestion:

Would you consider going for a full-on RS3 instead of (or in addition to) the slug? We could certainly use an updated model! Not that we'd at complain of course :-)

I'll try to do a full RS-3, but for right now my priority is getting this finished.

Here's another progress shot with a placeholder fuel tank and some of the trucks done.

I honestly don't know because this is the first model that I'm going to hopefully complete. I also have no experience doing anything related to painting or scripting, so I will need help with everything after the model is finished. This is also being made in Blender.

I can do the painting for you when it comes time!

Thank You for offering to do that for me.
