Took a cross-country Amtrak trip from Albuquerque to New York City this past
Christmas.  Road to Chicago on the Southwest Chief and then to NYC on the
Lakeshore Limited.

Saw a few locs to inspire some virtual construction.

The first is a go at the Alco c420 high nose.

The other virtual model is a very generic locomotive in a USA style.  This
is more a general design study than a true attempt to realize any specific
branded loc.
