Hi, I just finished updating some of my pages. More updates are needed,
but these will have to do for now. I was surprised by the amount of time
required to get these updates done.
During the past year I have been super sizing my Super Chief. The
eventual plan is to make an A and B unit, a baggage car, two coaches,
and an observation car. Right now, the train is an A unit, a baggage
car, a sleeper coach, and an observation car. The engine and cars are 8
studs wide, but the baggage car and coaches have been shortened by a
bit. I have been trying to decide if the baggage car should be the same
length as the coaches, but in the end I shortened it a bit more than the
coaches. The other controversial decision was to use dark gray plates. I
thought about this for a while and decided that the dark gray plates
broke up the grayness of the models.

The engine features working fans (though I might change the fans since
it is hard to see that they are rotating) and custom motor decorations.
The coaches feature detailed trucks and undercarriage. The observation
car features a curved door at the rear.
I have also been adding working fans to my GP and SD40-2.

Hopefully, I'll be able to get some of my other newer things up in the
not too distant future.
Please let me know what you think.
By the way, sorry for the relatively low quality photos. I am still
using the "still photo" feature from my video camera :)
Chris
