Pretty slick! Very good detail all around and clever tricks abound. I like
the spark arresters on the stacks. The rear of the cab looks well detailed,
do you have a photo of the rear when it is all together too? The only
suggestion I have is that you might want to flatten out the top of the
handrails on the front sides.

I’ve been trying to flatten out the top of the front handrails but I’m not
having any luck. I tried the trick with the paper clip but the paper clip was
to narrow gauged (pun intended?) to stay in place and the metal it was made
of was too fragile (it broke when I tried to take it out). Does anyone have
any suggestions?
