Wow! I’m very honored to have a comment from the brilliant Lego train Designer,
aka James Mathis...
Thanks a lot James and Gianluca for your help about the front of my loco. Like
you, I didn’t like the stud of the 1x2 SNOT slope brick, and I worked a long
time to find a solution to replace this 1x2 slope brick by something else. But I
didn’t find anything, so many thank for your great solution.
Sorry for not having reply to your messages sooner, but we had a power supply
shut down here (I don’t know if it was linked with the riots that we have in
France at the moment... maybe not, I shouldn’t be too paranoiac :-)). Anyway I
had to try your solution with the light of a candle, and beleive me, it’s not
easy to distinguish a dark gray from dark bluish gray when the only light you
have is a candle! :-)
So, the Gianluca’s solution works perfectly, but I had to SNOT 180° the light
gray plate 1x1 with clip (that holds the handle), and then add two light gray
tiles 1x1 facing each other.
Moreover this modification leads me to modifiy a bit the top light gray line,
and that’s a good modification because now the doors are more solid. Also
there’s no more gap at the top corners of the roof (but on the other hand,
there’s a half-stud hole in the dark gray, but I think it’s acceptable). See the
following MLCAD image :
I add the SNOT 180° 1x6 dark gray plate for solidity reason (and because it
supports a removable roof).
Gianluca, I think your second proposition won’t help me because I need the
brackets for a half-stud height shift (and not for a decorative purpose).
Now I have to order some new parts on Bricklinks, and I will make new pictures
in few weeks when I’ll get the parts.
One more time, thank you so much you two for your precious help!
Yours.
