There are about 3,000 parts including photo-etched metal in Clarence’s build of Aoshima’s 1/45 scale DD51, a Japanese diesel-hydraulic locomotive built from 1962 to 1978. He detailed the dual engines and transmissions as well as the cab. In addition, he added brass handles and railings, LED lighting, a sound card, and turned-aluminum wheels.
