A few notes and nits.
1. This isn't a shot of a "Super Chief" it's a shot of an A-B-B-A lashup.
2. It's a model, not a prototype, so it's possible the model isn't quite
curved right (it happens0
3. It's still a curve all the way from one side to the other even though I
agree it's not a semicircle. Contrast with the top of a PA which is half an
oval (with a significant flat spot in center) or at least half an ellipse.
IIRC anyway.
But this is valuable info, J2... thanks! Lego (and you) had to approximate
the curve SOMEHOW... (I think many of us would be *complaining* if they had
done a SPUD to get the curve exactly right, ne?)
