Hi guys! Turning of the fans are actually made of ESU in their Engineering Edition in some of the diesels! A Swiss company called Maxon makes some very small motors that could be used!! Thank You for a good series of making a diesel engine! Kindly Kim

Awsome job dan I'm building an athearn ac4400 to modern specs but don't worry myself over perfectly straight grab irons just cause they get bent and chipped and really sometimes rusted while out in the atmosphere of British Columbia canada and alberta so the nose and rear grab irons are just not gonna be straight since I'm weathering it

Forgot to mention in the previous vid (#21) but your decal work turned out bang on ,and I know decal work can be a major PITA ,so good for you on showing the proper way of doing things ,it should help a lot of folks. Loco is turning out very nice ,very nice indeed !I love those Nano and Pico LEDs from Evans....best thing ever ,and especially since I do N scale/gauge....make great street light ,search lights ,dwarfs etc.

Very interesting with the fiber optics installation, especially the use of the silver paint to create a bezel

I'm not sure, but i think that that since this locomotive had a lowered head light, that that thing from the nose to the number board area is to run the power to the lowered head light from where it used to be.

I think that's right. Someone else mentioned that possibility. I think someone else once suggested it might be a pipe for A/C condensation to drip out of. I can't remember now...

26:30 It is technically possible to have rotating fans in a HO scale model. Hornby has done it with some of their 00 scale models, like the class 50 and 56 diesel locomotives, IIRC it used a gearbox driven off the drive-motor by a rubber band. the problem was it sapped pulling power and in the end looked about as noticeable as a stationary fan that had been modeled to look like it was rotating with a translucent disk instead of fan blades, so it's not really worth it.

I have seen it done with pager motors and looks pretty good depending on the fan housing that is used and if you use shiny aftermarket metal fans. As for getting prototypical rotational speeds the current available for the motor from the decoder function pin needs to be minimal (because the motor has a small load, the load being the simple task of turning the fan). If you fail to limit current draw properly the motor will greedily draw all available current and spin fast and/or wear out.

Dan, I recently bought an Athearn Ready to Roll HO GP35 and I noticed the paint comes off the handrails very easily if I touch the handrails or move the engine around. Is that a normal problem on HO scale models?
