Oh, nice work. I understand now your second proposition. You seems to be a fanatic of smooth surfaces without any hole! :-)

For the vents I notice you used tiles grid. I thought about using these parts, but I wanted to use the plates 1x8 with door rail to make some relief. Moreover I already use this technic for my FL9 Loco, so I wanted to change a bit :-)

Finally I spend my afternoon to finish the MLCAD of my loco, you can find it here:

Now I think I’m totaly satisfied with this version.

   Hope it helps you and, by the way, you built a great MOC.

Yes of course, and thanks again for your help.

   PS the only thing I’d really change is the orange line: I don’t like much the zig-zag gaps (tiles put at 45 degrees don’t fill completely the angled space) and I’d redesign the nose, which seems too high to me. In particular, the orange line should become narrower, moving from the center to the nose. I’ll probably make it 2 plates high in the center and one plate high in the nose, with a 1.5 plates high transition. But this means TOTALLY redesigning the loco. Which is as complicated as the reverse engineering, so it MUST be done, hehehehe...

OK, sure! You’re welcome to try your own version of this loco!

Yours.

PS: I made a mistake in my first post, I think this loco is a BB7200, not 72000, but it’s not really important :-)

(...) Yes. I left them 1/5 stud out as the real one. Plus, they're 1 plate shorter (10 instead of 11), so the lower edge is at the same height of the orange line. (...)
