Thanks Mattias!
The curves and flexible parts were definitely the challenge! For some of them
(the cowcatcher and some of the side tubes) I simply used the flexible hose
segments in LDRAW to simulate flex-tubing. For the rest (all of the curved
hosing on the chassis) I used Kevin Clague's LSynth program.
I don't think there will be any problem with posting an LDRAW file. The one
cocnern is that after using LSynth, the file is a little over 7 MB in size
(prior, it's about 100 KB). In general, this makes it a little unweidly to
work with ...
In the meantime, I at least uploaded images of all of the different submodels
that went into the engine (including the chassis before and after LSynth).
Check them out (after moderation) at:

Thanks again,
Shaun
