Nice work. I'll chime in on Larry's nits. I think the nose should be flat on top
too. The frame looks good at two plates, but on one side the frame is actually
thicker than the other

The middle of the frame on the blower housing side is thicker than the frame on
the other side. I think two plates to 1 plate is good for the side opposite the
blower housing, but I think the side that has the blower should be thicker (blue
plates on top of the gray).
Now that I am done nit picking. I think the caboose and the engine look great together!
