I've been looking for a nice new model since I finished my diesel and
soon stumbled across some pictures of the German E44 electric engine.
After a long evening of trying to model it correct in MLCAD I've given
up. I can't seem to make it look "right" , somehow the proportions don't
seem to work out. I'd love some input from you all to try and get it right.
Below are small images of both the LDRAW model and the original.

I've been considering replacing the 1*4*3 windows with a pair of smaller
2*2 shutters and trying 12v wheelsets. Neither seemed to work so far.
Thanks a lot in advance!

When the bogies will be there and the pantographs as well, the model will definitely look much better. Two more (...) (22 years ago, 27-Dec-02, to lugnet.trains)
