thanks for that interesting, I had thought about one of these but as I already have a silly amount of loco's maybe better not just subbed to you cheers
My friend is now talking about dismantling the track, and sell it all. We will see. BTW i have worked on MY during my apprenticeship at DSB in the early / mid 80ties, so yeah i know my way around those. I actually made a couple of speaker stands out of Pistons from a GM diesel, not sure if it was from the V16 though, threw them away after a while as they was too small for some of my speakers, and quite heavy for speaker " feet " It was cool how these pistons would " swim " on the rods so the piston could more around, i think it was for wear leveling CUZ i think these engines was also submarine engines before uncle Sam got all nuclear. I also have a table beer opener, made out of a exhaust valve for a train engine, or that is i think i still have, i have not been into beer drinking since the late 80ties, but it was made much like stelton beer openers
Since it is 6-axle trucks it is more similar to a U.S.A. E9 but with control cabs on both ends. Will you strip out the Piko electronics or keep them intact and incorporate the R/C decoder?
These MY was produced from 1954 - don’t know what model exactly was the american prototype for these swedish build locos, but the motor was a 16 cyl. 2-stroke GM’s. They’ve got six axels because of the max. axel weight in Denmark. Yes, I’ll strip the Piko-stuff and put in Revo-RC receiver+sound. That’s how I made my F7a.
I always put a soft towel down when i work on something. Looks great!!
Very interesting. Thanks. Joe😊
The Engine driver is Piko's CEO Rene Wilfer!

You got some interesting artifacts from your career, didn't get to keep them all but that's life.
