I was playing at Conan's last night, and came up with another 8-wide version
of the Sante Fe Super Chief locomotive. It's not done - I need to add some
fans on the roof and some more corrugated on the sides (and one
windshield!), but I'm pretty happy with the way it looks so far.
It might be a bit too tall, but the shape of the nose pretty much dictates
the size of everything else. I haven't decided if I like the roofline, I
might change it to something more like LEGO's version.
As always, comments are welcome!

| (...) I like how the sculpted nose uses 1/2-stud offsets and embeds the smaller 1/4-curve element into underarch of the larger 1/4-curve element. Also like the SNOT use to thin out the yellow striping. Nice. later, James Mathis (23 years ago, 8-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains)

| Hi John, nice attempt in my favourite wide! The nose in 1/2 offset is very nice as James said before! But did you guys know that Gianlucca Morelli has built a 8-wide Santa Fe years (??) ago? Check out: (URL) on bricking, especially in 8-wide! HoMa (23 years ago, 8-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains)
