Hi all,

I finally made 8-wide versions of my Alco FA-2, and built a new FB-2 to go
along with it:

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=42387

A few notes:
-windshield is based on John Neal's design, though without the downward cant
-the rear grills are SNOT pieces that hang off the roof
-to save weight and parts, both are constructed on SF train baseplates
(28-stud?)
-I had to compress the model significantly, so the warbonnet ended up behind
thee door instead of halfway in front of it, for aesthetic reasons

PLMKWYT, good, bad, or otherwise.

-Stefan-
