Not bad! The whole thing is quite unassuming from the outside, but the internals
are packed with good SNOTtery and function! Reminds me a lot of my own
WDM-2. I like how you
did the buffers on the tender, they’re really cute, apart from the attention to
detail on the whole tender itself. One drawback I see is the fact that you’ve
used a lot more 1x1 slopes than the average collection would happen to have, but
they make up for this with the detail they lend to the model. I hate to point
out a design flaw of those window ladders though: The warping they cause on the
1x2 grille tile is probably enough to prevent you from placing anything directly
next to that tile. Not entirely sure about this though, since in my model the
tile wasn’t obstructed by surrounding details. Another thing that I dislike is
it’s ‘limited operation area’, as you put it, as well as the fact that it can
run only in one direction since the small battery box doesn’t allow fwd/bkwd
motion. I’ve been looking into getting around this by using gearboxes, but so
far my lack of experience with technic has limited my success.
One more thing: How DARE you put a Classic Space logo on a train and thereby
defile it????? :-P
