I'm taking tomorrow off, so hopefully I'll get the chance to post my photos of the modifications to the DD45 chassis. Also, I'll send you those trucks asap, Pedro...sorry about the wait :oops: ;) I'm going to have an interesting time tring to find out if the finished chassis will fit through...

Well, I had life decide to smack me upside the head for a while here (IE: classes, both the regular and summer semester being very tough) but I'm back to the DDM45. So far, progress has been interesting. I shortened the DD40 frame to match the prototype, now I'm working on the trucks being...

Well, for my first thread on the forum, I'm going to post my progress on making a DDm45, a narrow gauge SD45 built for the Vitoria A Minas railway in brazil. So far my plan is to use Athearn DD40 trucks grafted onto the SD45's frame, but the difficulty lies in narrowing the trucks to take HOn3...
