Hi all,
My newest MOC made it’s debut at Cantigny this weekend; a 6-wide model of
the CB&Q Pioneer Zephyr. I based the cars on the Santa Fe carbodies, and

wasn’t sure what the overhang would be on the layout, but I now intend to
make it a bit longer.

the front smooth, though. It would add a great deal to the look, I’d think.
