That is great. I like the view from the minifig perspective, but I am
left wondering, what is happening on top of the model :)

Chris, well... the top is quite desert :) Because I have no idea from the
pictures I could get what was happening up there. From the side drawing
obtained from the web site I mentioned earlier I can only guess that there
should be the exhaust pipe in the middle of the engine and some thicker
“thing” in front of the locomotive. See that drawing for the same guess :
By the way, I finally ended-up with the same BB62400 in 6 studs wide but with
its yellow & grey livery. The shape is roughly the same as the blue one, but
I got some problems to render the bicolor front on the engine. Here is the
result. Comments are welcome.
James, about the side windows trick, as already mentioned the solution was
provided by Erik Amzallag. I will forward your congratulations to him. Thanks
again.
Jan-Albert, I have quite few informations about this locomotive, I think
there was only one version of the blue one, and the yellow&grey is much more
frequent. I also remember that French SNCF bought back these engines from
Dutch railways to operate on freight trains. These locomotives seems to be
very longlasting on duty.
As you can notice, I also tried to improve a little bit the colors of the
pictures, thanks to software treatment since I won’t invest in a professional
imaging equipment :). I’d rather put my money to buy bricks !
Cheers,

Philippe,
the model looks great, I even like the yellow and grey better then the blue one.
Those windows kick booty. 6wide is fine by me, saves on brick and it’ll fit on
any layout. Although I would concider moving the handrails out a bit, making the
engine 7 wide overall.

| Hello all, (...) Again great feedbacks from many persons, thanks to you all. This discussion improves a lot how I can do with buiding MOCs. John, I surely like to build in 6 wide, I also went to look into 7 wide. But for 8 wide, I have a major (...) (19 years ago, 3-Jun-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
