(...) Rick Clark did a black and green Burlington Northern switcher (6-wide) tapering this way, and it looks great. Unfortunately, he doesn't have pics of it on his site. This is the best picture I could find on the PNLTC site: (URL) loco in (...) (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

Wow! That's a neat design with lot's of cool details! The main hatch is very well conceived. I really dig the big AWACs style dish on top :) Excellent web page work with presenting the model too! Great job, Todd! Dan (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)

(...) I suspect he used the dual taper piece (4x4x1 high) in the yellow and red/black show trucks... that is a perfect piece for this application, but the problem with it is that it tapers from 4 to 2... Talk about your strong argument for making (...) (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

(...) Yeah, that angle in is a bummer. Frankly, my solution has been to avoid it, because nothing is going to look just right given the limitations of the elements-- for *8wide*, that is. Rob Werner in the GFLTC has built a really nice switcher (...) (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

Great SNOT construction in the rear section, and that nifty hatch, and the sliding computer door, and the lift-off top... And the presentation! Oh my (...)

(...) Thanks, I was really happy with the way the hatch turned out. I didn't want there to be any visible hinges when it was closed. It worked out perfectly. Todd (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)

(...) Not from me... Seems like a tough problem as long as the slope on the hood remains above the hinge bricks, thus producing an "over-bite", as such. From the photos, I don't see much of a "gap", but perhaps a better angle would show it? Or, is (...) (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)
