Wow, that is really great! Congrats to Ross for this great model (even if it
is no steam engine this time). He caught so many small structures - I am
really amazed. I like the idea with the lots of 1x4 tiles in green on the side
of the loco. Gives a cool effect.
There is nothing to criticize at all, but if I had to mention anything, that
would be the 22° rooftop on center-plates and these on 22° slopes (each in
front and end-face of the engine). I think the roof top directly placed on the
slopes and then the center plates below might look a little more smooth.

The cut chain looks great: I think I will copy that idea sooner or later.
Who cares about cutting tubes? Are those not meant to used in any lenght you
need by chance... ;-)

Think it was worth the effort. Great (and at least for me completely new)
idea!
I am looking forward for the ISCC II gallery and more pictures of bridge and
loco.
Best Regards,
