Brickshelf (when
modded).
Here is my latest.
It is a 4-8-8-2 Cab Forward. It is not modeled completely from a single train.
But the most influential is the cab-forward(4294) that resides at California
State Railroad Museum in Sacramento. I also used some cad drawings and the 4240
as examples.
Some interesting items are the snot design in the cab, and the rounded boiler.

| I guess you are going to force me out of Lego retirement.... Nice job on the cab-forward, I am glad to finally see one finished. Good solution for the nose, but I wished there was some glazing indication there. It would be nice if you could affix a (...) (18 years ago, 2-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| Awsome! Several times I have started on the same project from the same inspiration, always falling way short. Excellent job! (18 years ago, 21-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
