Thanks :-)
I particularly like the fact that the effect is easier to achieve with Lego in
8mm scale than in HO or OO in 3.5mm or 4mm scale.
Using SNOT with grille tiles gives a finer grille than just alternating plates,
and there's some relief rather than a smooth side to the loco. I had to make up
the multiple of 5 plates high with a row of tiles below the grilles. It's all
supported inside with 2x2 angle brackets.
(...) Hey just had to chime in. I like the engine, but I had to add that I like the "support beam visible through the vent effect" that you did with the SNOTted grille tiles. Chris (19 years ago, 11-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains)
