Model Railroading > 3D scanning the prototype

Hi guys,

Dan and I spent a gruelling day today outside in the wind and the rain helping with the 3D scan of Rapido's new train. To preserve the innocent, the prototype we scanned has been Photoshopped out and replaced with something else entirely.

So who can guess what prototype we REALLY scanned today?

We're making the official announcement at the Springfield show.

I will guess a CP rebuilt GP9u.

Boring.

RDC-4?

Well you haven't travelled anywhere other than TO (for you Meriken's; that stands for Toronto, Ontario and not "Train Orders") it must be something close. You said it has Canadian connections so it may be an RDC of some sort.

After all, your kids will be needing to attend College somewhere down the road so you'll be needing a product which will bring in a ton of money. Please do the wrap around fluting for the BCR people out there.

HO scale model of the CN Tower??? (Would scale down to just under 21 feet tall...)

> Boring.

Obviously you're not a golfer. They're scanning...

My tongue in cheek answer would be a Gmd-h critter...my fingers crossed I hope they do this answer is RS23 switcher...

A Canadian RDC would be just swell! (1's and 3's for we BCR Modelers, w/fluting please).
If we are wishing, I agree with Rick.

Oh great, now the model will be too wide and tall by the thickness of the water on the surface of the rain water. I can just hear the internet howl over that issue.

Seriously, thanks for spending the time and money to try to get the model right when an existing prototype is available.

Totally agree! Please bring on the BCR RDCs!

Thanks,

Well....you weren't 'down here', 3D scanning the FA-1's and the FA-2's (or even the FB's) ! Lol. 'Cause we didn't have the wind and rain yesterday! Plus I would have laid on the horn as we went by....

Zzzzzzzzzz

they have done the Osgood Bradlys in HO and they are on the way in N scale. They have also announced Fl9's in both scales.
I'm looking forward to a GE ep5 to complete the NH troika

If this is so boring, then why did you post again?

Shhh! At least he's asleep now!

I would love a few RDC-4s. But I don't know if it would really be worth doing. How many of them were built? And how many railroads had them?

I've got it! It's a Gilderfluke!

In response to Jason's personal query...he woke me up!. But on a much more serious note he and his crew are Canadian and they deserve my (our) support at this time.
