Spencer, Very nice! The corrugated bricks are so much nicer looking when stacked with aligned seems! I really dislike the Santa Fe with the crossed seams. I was wondering if the 1/4 round roof detail was purposely done in 1 stud wide elements? I would love to see to bottom also and how you connected the trucks.

Ditto on everyone else’s positive comments! I can’t emphasis how much seam alignment (or lack there of) can add that extra bit of detail.
