Hot on the heels of my first post, here’s my second (and the reason I got
side tracked) …
I went for a biggie for my first loco MOC so please let me know what you
think of my Canadian Pacific GE Evolution Series in six-wide.

I must say thank you to James Mathis for the steps on the truck, blatantly
pinched from his Alco RS1; and to Tim Gould for posting his version of
(almost) the same loco a couple of weeks ago. I had just received my last
Bricklink order to build the thing but I just wasn’t happy with the rearmost
underside radiator grill and his version presented me with the solution I had
been looking for! (Such a small piece of plagiarism – such a major rebuild!).
Thanks for reading
Play Well

Hi Chris,
Great job on the loco. There’s a few bits I’ll probably pinch if I ever get
around to building my CN in the brick. I’m particularly partial to your embedded
wheel and handrails. The staggered slopes work quite well for the nose.
Sorry my grille caused so much hassle but if it’s any consolation it did the
same for me (although deleting is a lot easier in CAD). I went through about
three iterations for it and each time involved redoing a large section of the
tail...

Thanks for your comments Tim
It was the flush brake wheel that caused the hassles. Your radiator grill is
deeper than the inverse slopes I had in previously, and the small grill below
the wheel was a 1x2 brick type attached to the base and not the tile used now -
whilst the wheel was attached to the snot long hood. In order to lower the
wheel it got far too complicated and ... as i’m totaly at a lost, and at a loss
to describe things further I’ll stop there.
Please look at the pdf on brickshelf for the rather inelegant (not quite
studless as before) solution.
Chris
