Really nice, Dean! A very clean design and good scaling.  Also your pics are
very effective and present the MOC well.  The decals add so much-- I missed the
reference so I'll ask here-- did you use S scale decals?

My only nit (aside from the usual 8 wide ranting;) is that you call it an "SD"
(for "Special Duty") and use a 4 wheel truck configuration (SDs always have 6
wheel trucks).  You could easily call it a GP (General Purpose) which used 4
wheel trucks and be more accurate in that respect.

Either way, you've built one fine choo-choo!  Congratulations on your 1st place
finish-- it *is* a winner:-)

-John
