Hot on the heels of my first post, here’s my second (and the reason I got side
tracked) …
I went for a biggie for my first loco MOC so please let me know what you think
of my Canadian Pacific GE Evolution Series in six-wide.

I must say thank you to James Mathis for the steps on the truck, blatantly
pinched from his Alco RS1; and to Tim Gould for posting his version of (almost)
the same loco a couple of weeks ago. I had just received my last Bricklink
order to build the thing but I just wasn’t happy with the rearmost underside
radiator grill and his version presented me with the solution I had been looking
for! (Such a small piece of plagiarism – such a major rebuild!).
Thanks for reading
Play Well
Chris

But let me go further and note that I think your instructions are equally nice and are deserving of attention in their own right. Mind if I ask what software you used (...)
