Model Railroading > TEBC-6 measurements

Troublemaker PE got me hooked on another (of 3000+) project - building a TEBC-6 and I need drawings or measurements or something, anything I can get.
I have the pics of one from here on TO a while back but I can only guesstimate so much of it.
Tanks !


TCS - the sd-38-2 will be so much easier ...

My work here is done...

PE - heheheheh

I know I asked you this question before. Have you ever finished a project? :)

Inquiring minds want to know.

PS - It just seems to me that the model railroad virus of having numerous projects but never finishing them appears to be very strong in California. Too much sunshine?

I have measurements sent to me by VMV along with some pictures of the interior. E-mail me offline, and I will send them to you.

These are built on the frame of an SD-9. Should get what you need from that info.

Its not just a California phenomenon. Happens right here in Georgia too. Of course we're in the sunbelt so.....Guess we all have too much sunstroke from chasing trains.

Your a bad bad man!!!

I agree. I built mine, starting with an Athearn SD9, and SW1500. I took the SD9 and sliced off everything above the frame. I then used the SW1500, and attached the battery boxes to the front end of the unit, along with a modified cab. I used the SW1500 cab, but I patched the oval side windows, cut out the rounded roof, and applied a new, scratcbuilt brass roof. From there, I just estimated the dimensions of the hood (pretty easy to do with all of these components installed) and cut them from sheet styrene. Mix in some Cannon hood doors, a Cannon brake wheel housing from a nose kit, and some other details, and there ya go. A bit hard, but not too hard. Now I just need to get around to finishing it, as its been in the "85%" stage for a long time now. Jeff

As a matter of fact yes, two of them are coming north with me next month.
Thanks Sandmanre, e-mail headed your way next.
I have a Proto SD-9 cut down to the frame, the TEBC cab is larger than an SW-1500 but I am using the front and rear pieces of same, as stated you can only guestimate so far before you need some solid numbers as a base.
On another note after I ran out of steam on this waiting for help, I jumped back onto a cool project languishing on the back tracks - looks like I'm gonna get some first-hand experience in custom frame building like Betsy does ...


TCS - brass would be easier but this is ....fun ( ????? )

Great. Looking forward to seeing pictures of your work. Post away.

You assume I am digitally equipped and you'd be wrong.
Maybe Harry will post pics of the BAPM ...

I sent mail, haven't heard from you.


TCS - brown dog

I sent you a couple of emails, did you get them. I haven't gotten anything from you. Don't know what happened.

Is your current e-mail the one listed here on TO ??? I know mine isn't.
I haven't received anything yet.
