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.
