Chuck,
Thanks for the nod.
I noticed you are using the hinge/panel step arrangement. I had some
serious clearance issues with that design. OK, mine kept getting knocked
off when the train went by the power connectors. The constant abuse also
weakened the trucks, and they eventually failed. I had to redesign the
steps, twice. Are you having any clearance issues?
I was wondering how you got the black grille tiles in your radiator
bubble. I am always looking for different ways to get those tiles into
an inverted slant.
