Timothy,

You are getting a really nice collection of models going here. The Pendolino is quite smart looking. I really like you solution for the black curved part beneath the windscreen.

This Russion Trans-Siberian set is a good brutish representative of the original. Nice work.

   I hope to make some instructions for it sometime and have uploaded the .mpd for a start. I still need to check that the model is buildable although I think it is.

I am still caught in this trap so many times! Real brick builds are still my only way of proofing the construction-- but seldom do I take that time to do so.

I think one of the things that pleases me most from the Super Chief cars sets is to see the parts used in original MOCs. Slap-On curved roof bits!

You’ve merged the retro 60s bricks, macaronis, and slopes for the cab windscreen nicely on top of a modern-day SNOTwise curved nose. I am reminded of the elegance of official LEGO set 727 12v locomotive, but with the modern touch of curved bricks and fresh greens.

The use of silver daggers on the front badging is clever.

later,

James Mathis

Not sure of the name and class of it as the only railway fan pictures I could find were on a Russian site in Russian (x-posted to (...)
