dptydawg Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 There is a diecast 1/25th scale Cat 3516B Genset made by Northcot. It can be detailed up quite nicely Revel Germany also made a V10 genset as a load for their 6 axle flatdeck It is very basic and need a lot of work to detail it out. I think that this may have been patterned off a Sultzer V12 motor but it was condensed to fit the box. Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heepey Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 At the LHS recently I found a Walthers HO scale locomotive engine kit that I think will make a 1/25 scale towable genset. It will take a lot of additional detailing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
