Hi Larry,

just one question: What do you mean with "Alco C420"??? Is that the name of the
engine?? Sorry I have no idea about the manufacturer of the real one.

I really love "alligatornose"!! The first version had a 6-wide nose and a
5-wide part behind the cabin. But I decided to do it in 5-wide also: The blue
antenna, or what you call "alligatornose" is centered! It wasn't centered in
the 6-wide version. Good to have it changed!!

Greetings,

Holger

I think it's brilliant. The locomotive is one of the "busiest" I've seen and
really looks like an alligatornose Alco C420 after it got hacked on to add
heavy duty blowers and airfilters. Love that detail.
