Dear Mattias!
I have seen the half built frond end of that engine at our FGLTC Lego meeting
in Mülheim. Dirk has used the 2x4x3 sloped window frames from Lego Basic. In
result he had to attach them only rotated in 1 direction (while it would be
very difficult to reach the same impression with the train window frame.
I think that front comes a little bit nearer to the prototype than the 8-wide
of John Neal. Someone else has already mentioned at 1000steine.de the possibly
too long nose of Dirk's Santa Fe. If he would shorten that by 1 stud, it might
even look better than now.
I am looking forward to see some coaches and the B-unit in 8-wide.
