Its one of those big Japanese multi bogie thingies. I have no idea why they seemed to like them so much but...
Anyway, comparing with a Df plan. its a bit short, but this is pretty much all in the outer bogies, which I was going to replace anyway (though I'm wondering if I can get away with using Atlas GP30 bogies as I used for the railcar as the base for more power pickups).
Ahhhh, another project to start with so many 1/2 finished. There were suggestions that I RP the nose, but i think I'll prefer to use plasticard and a file instead. it sounds a bit more relaxing.

I'm going to stick my 'rough enuff is gud enuff' neck out here... I've got one of these chassis and made a Df... the loco IS of course, approx 9mm too short, but if you lay it on a plan reduced to the same size as the chassis almost everything is correct in proportion, including the wheelbases', front bogies, frame height etc It is too small, I just run it with littlely four wheelers and avoid the containers...
My modelling aims aren't particulary lofty haha
