Hi James,
thanks for sharing your design ideas! Looks great, except the tiny little 12V
wheels - as Gianluca already said. Such a huge loco needs 9V wheels and the
motors will go underneath the cars!
Your Santa Fe loco will be a good partner for my Desert Express diesel loco. I
started that one at the nose and front window section. Where did you start your
constructions?
Nice to see how many possibilities could be used to build a sloped nose. Your
use of the 2x2 plates with "wings" is just great!
Go on for the whole fright train in 8 wide!
Regards,
HoMa

| (...) Yes. (...) Same place. I have only intended this Sante Fe to be a design study for the nose/cab only for this locomotive. I will likely not finish this model. (...) That was fun to figure out . :-) Amazing how well engineered LEGO element (...) (23 years ago, 26-May-01, to lugnet.trains)

| It's a US-proto freight loco, folks: Well, I got the itch just to try a design study for an 8-wide US diesel locomotive. I see this type of locomotive frequently here in the high desert of central New Mexico. They're HUGE! It's only a design study (...) (23 years ago, 25-May-01, to lugnet.trains)
