Saw this on brickshelf recently and like the stubby design. I’m tempted to
redesign some of my models as stubbies for a bit of fun.
Thanks to GrapeApe from me for these too. They prove invaluable.

I finally got around to some illustrated steps for the Union Pacific
Executive Touring set. Here are instructions for the
baggage car,
end observation car,
and locomotive. The
build of the locomotive is a bit odd due to its recoloring from Santa Fe war
bonnette-- I didn’t bother swapping plates for bricks in the recoloring. I
am shamelessly preserving the dome car instructions to my Brick Built Trains
booklet for a Streamliner Dome Car available at my
CafePress shop. A small bit of
recolored creativity will morph the gray domecar into the UP colors.

This is a beautiful train design. I’m unfamiliar with the original but love your
rendition. I’m particularly impressed by
this technique here.
Is this STAAA (studs at an angle)... Once again you’ve designed a fantastic
model which combines playability and realism. And in six-wide too, my favourite
train width.
Just as a note, some of the pictures in your rendering seem to have stuffed up
see eg. here
I really like the way you always make complete trains. I always seem to run out
of inspiration/perspiration once I finish the engine. I’ve always had such a
short concentration span.

Thanks for checking these out.

It’s always a pleasure to check your work out. Thanks for posting it.
Yours,
