Just to clarify on a few things - this is Stefan Garcia's creation, and IIRC, he
was trying to get a DTI engine with all of his available orange, and this was
the result. Stefan has done some remarkable work such as his Zephyr:

(I don't know off-hand of a better picture gallery / creation page)
While Stefan has a rather large collection for a young man of his years, he does
not compare with say, Larry P, or me, or others who are in the hundreds of
thousands / millions of parts range and have been buying LEGO items for close to
30 years.
As for compression, I don't know, I have seen some really remarkable building of
both 6 and 8 wide, Steve Ringe does both great, among many others. I try to
entertain any size, since I always felt that LEGO is not a scale that can be
realistic. I tell people at the various shows I am at, we try to make them look
as real as possible, but in truth, if LEGO trains were close to real scale, they
would be what 14 wide, 70-80 studs long, etc.

LOL, I know its Stefan's, I talk to him online. (I hope he doesn't hold my
posting that link against me o_o) But I was unaware of the story behind the
diesel, thanks for it. I am also aware that he has a big collection, the lucky
devil.
