It uses a 1x6 plate with wagon end, 2 2x8 plates, a 2x4 & technic 2x4 (or

middle, and it'll be complete, add the Cab & all, then you're done, like in
my Pre-production model of a SW1000:

Having just completed an SW1500, dimensions are fresh in my mind and while yours
is cute, it seems quite dimunitive, even for a 6 wide (which, as I used to harp,
should really be 8wide dimensions, only compressed width wise, but I digress).
You have your nose 2 1/3 studs high; I figured mine to be 4 2/3 studs high.  That
is quite a difference.

Hmm...  I'm working on a SW1200 currently.  My nose is about five studs
high as well and it's the only part that I have done as of now.  I've
noticed that many people work on building similat things all about the
same time in this group.  I wonder what causes that?
