   Another 7 wide convert! (its working Ben!) Some really nice details on this model, the grill using is an original use for a fairly useless part and looks good. I think the triple sloped piece on the nose also works well as you say and I wouldn’t worry about the colour.
I was interested that the bogies (trucks) aren’t the same, but then the loco isn’t symmetrical. It captures the massiveness that even a fairly small US loco possesses better than your six wide version, I do like the hazard striped plow on that tho.

Thanks for the feedback Tim. and I’m definitely a convert. I’ve already built a passenger car 56 studs in VIA rail colors. and converted my stock car to 7 wide (44 studs) and both look great. I’ll post pics once I get a few vital parts in the mail.

Thanks,

Mike
