This loco has been modified with V-8 engines under the hoods, and a fuel tank/air tank mounted midship. I also own locos from 4564 and 4563 (no photos at present). I have a large variety of home designed locos. The most complicated is based on the Metroliner, except it is a diesel.
The interior of the Diesel is fully functional.
A small Dutch Diesel engine. Plans can be had from Eric Brok Lego On my Mind
A photo of the Sik engine and a rough model of "Nutty". Nutty is a perserved Sentinel, 2' 6" gauge, and very low to the ground. She stands somewhat less than 6' tall in real life. The model of Nutty is used to shunt into my auto factory, which has a very low clearance enterance. The Sik is used for the most part in the coal mine as the loading engine.
I've built a model of a 200 HP sentinel, and have a colour photo of the prototype
More photos, this time of all of my Sentinels
4 Sentinel models so far, now I have to try to do some of the older/more unusual locos that Sentinel produced, including the dual cab engines and a 100 HP engine.
Several other locos populate my layout, right now I have the locos from 4563 and 4564 on the layout as well, both fairly well as designed. The only real difference is that the yellow loco from 4563 has 2 motors under it rather than the lego design of one motor. With the steep grades it is helpful to not have to triple head trains up the hill...or more inportantly, down it :)
