I think it looks great, was going to comment that it looks a little low slung but I see you are going to raise the ride height about 1/2" so we're on the same page. Now it just needs a big single cylinder motor and a turbo (non-functioning) so it sounds like this:

I've seen quite a few nice locomotives built around wheelchair electronics. Go for it!

I want to do a bit more cosmetic work and then come the paint.
Pete is hoping to cast ALCO trucks this summer as rough components, needing some machining. If you want to construct a Diesel using AAR Type "B" trucks, you probably want to talk to Pete at Odd Duck Foundry.

This is the link to the files I've collected while constructing the ALCO FA1. Many people have contributed to the library and
while I have not acknowledge all the individuals, my deep gratitude is extended to them. Please read the note card in the file.
As a retired teacher, I believe we learn more when we share information. My hope is these files will move more large scale modelers towards scratch building their own equipment. I have also posted a great many files for FM H16-44 Diesels, and that link is posted elsewhere on this board.
