Hi John,

WOW!  As a newbie of sorts my first jaw-dropping response to a LEGO train
was seeing Ross's Pacific 4-6-2.  A while back you hinted that Ross had a
proto freight deisel in the works and I've been periodically returning to
Ross's Brickshelf folder ever since waiting for it to appear.  It may not
mean much coming from a newbie, but I think this MOC is fantastic!

lol It doesn't matter if you are a newbie or James Mathis-- it means a lot!  I
sure Ross will be gratified by your kind words!

Are those mini-fig hands on the guard rails?  I've never noticed that done
before.  What are the fans made out of?  A lot of great details!

Yes, they are hands.  This is a modified technique that was begun by Dan
Siskind of the GMLTC when he used Captain Hook hooks for his rails-- black
hands are a little less scarce;-) The fans are wagon wheels with 2x2 space
dishes in them.

Although I haven't made any detailed MOCs of my own (yet), for a while I've
been thinking I'm probably going to be a 6-wide guy (don't hate me! :-).
Ross's GP-50 has given me reason to reconsider 8-wide.

Go for it-- any width will do:-)

Tell Ross he's got amazing talent (if just a newbie opinion means anything)
and thanks for the great pictures!

Will do-- and please no more about "newbie" nonsense!

-John
