Hi all,
Thank you Tom McDonald for hosting some temporary pics for me of the
Santa Fe Warbonnet.
It will be shown at the PNLTC exhibit in September (some weekend when
I can escape to run up there.)
This diesel engine is longer than the 24 stud plate; a total of 34 studs
long. I added Technic plates to hold the bogies on the entended ends and
haven't had muhc trouble with the stability. W/out the wheels, the
engine is 9 bricks high (incl. the baseplate.)
The nose of the engine was originally taller, as was the entire engine,
but then it was too tall and towered over my boxcars! Hence the
addition of the sloped bricks over the rounded freestyle bricks. The
nose can also be removed, showing some important mechanical stuff for
the minifigs to work on.
Carrie

| (...) Always nice to see another locomotive in LEGO! Good job, Carrie. Too bad the Warbonnet must wait until September to run at a show. later, James Mathis (25 years ago, 22-Jun-99, to lugnet.trains)
