Thank you Larry, this has been my baby for the past month, mostly waiting
for the parts to arrive and all.
Too bad about the lack of the slanted cab, but I wanted to duplicate the
narrow ALCO cab look...and there was no way to do it with slopes. Thank god
for plane windows, they really made this model possible. And as for the
round plate at the front of the long hood (radiator fan), I think one of the
printed grilled tiles from the Millennium Falcon set will do just fine here.
I was originally going to make it light gray with black in place of the red,
but black obscures detail, especially with LEGO®.
