Train fans,

Just completed construction on my new C44-9W (Dash-9) Diesel Engine. This
six wide MOC of a BNSF Engine was inspired by the February issue of Trains
Magazine with it story titled Blank Bullets. The Blank Bullets story
features many great picture of BNSF trains running freight cost to cost. I
even used the real road number seen on the second engine in the main
picture. Too bad the route isn’t working for the railroads, but anyway the

One very minor 'nit':  You've got headlights on both ends of the locomotive.
I'd replace the ones in back with red.

Definitely worth a highlight!
