   Some but few SNOT in it, and with the help of Erik Amzallag the small windows of the cabin are placed with less than a stud width. Here is a small .ldr file (http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/frogleap/Trains/BB62400/fenetrebb62400.ldr) to help you catch the trick.

Philippe,

That window trick is really clever. Thanks for showing it. Well done.

To complement on the SNOT techniques used in this BB62400, the bicolor version led to interesting challenges especially to render both bicolor ends of the locomotive in 4 studs width. After three different versions I ended-up with a stable solution to render the “nose” of the BB62400 diesel locomotive in yellow-grey colors. I tried the first but producing a solution with misalignement for the 2x2 grey tiles as you can see in this picture.



Erik Amzallag provided two solutions. His first one resulted in a very small offset of left and right block of the bicolor front of the loco. This is almost undetectable unless you have the loco in hands.



You can see the structure in the .ldr file http://perso.wanadoo.fr/chezfilou/FichiersTelechargement/avantBB6plus_solide.ldr.

The last solution from Erik is perfect. the last solution is always the best :). No offset, robust arrangement and few parts. Here is the .ldr file for it http://perso.wanadoo.fr/chezfilou/FichiersTelechargement/avantBB62400_4renforce.ldr. I don’t have pictures for this. It wouldn’t look so different than the one above at least on the screen.

Thanks for your comments, Philippe “frogleap” Label, FreeLUG member
