Interesting. The prototype seems rather squat (much wider proportionally than your model), can you try to lower the height of this model at all to achieve that look?

I like the front pilot/buffers area.

Hi Lar,

Thanks for the comments.

It’s a wide, wide-gauge train but I just couldn’t bring myself to go to seven wide even though the model REALLY needs it. I might be able to squeeze one plate lower (need to check on a brickbuilt version) but unfortunately any lower than that and my minifigs will fall off the sides. I might try to force myself to widen it but it is hard for me to do.

Tim

(...) I hear that! So tell us more about this one day challenge thing? (19 years ago, 10-Oct-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Seriously-- why would that be "hard to do"? Aversion to creating wide trains is baffling to me. This MOC could easily be built 9 wide, going by the looks of the prototype, and it would look great at that width! Forget about conventions, Tim. (...)
