I like this model because it looks just like the engines that go past my
family's house (CP and Norfolk Southern, mainly). Growing up right there I kind
of took the trains for granted, but seeing all the effort people here put into
modeling them has rekindled an interest. They are mighty machines.
I am impressed that you created your instructions in Excel. Does that mean you
drafted your own set of part graphics, or are the part images derived from their
LDraw equivalents? Developing orthographic plans certainly makes sense,
especially from a civil engineering perspective, but I am curious if Excel is
often repurposed for this kind of draftwork. I know it is a flexible program,
but this surprised me!
Be well,
Jim
