Bye.

Reverse engineering is fun! :-PPP

here is the link:

alternatively you can download the .ldr file and let mlcad generate the images on your computer, offline...

I redesigned your loco eliminating all the tiles’ grooves and making it smoother. I also designed the underframe (side tanks) so that it shows less gaps between parts.

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

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...

Dude, you are a SNOT psycho... and that’s saying a lot coming from me ;-). I had a look at those BI and I’m still shocked! Good job with those teeeeny offsets! I’m impressed.
