I agree with everyone who's said that my nose is short. This is only the
proptype, and thanks for your cratege (if thats how is spelt...). I have to
point out that Larry's Cab should be taller, the higth of the long hood &
the cab at not that close, and BTW, on switchers the long hood isn't THAT
tall, i figure 3 1/3 to 4 maximum, which makes the cab 6-7 tall.
SW1500:

Look at the height of the hand rail, thats about 3ft tall, the hood is only
hitting 6ft, there for, like i said, 3 1/3 to 4. I know this may seem
strange to some people.
Ask for more, i'll give more...
Josh
