WOW! It certainly does kick my class 50! And IMHO Mark’s too! I always love
functionality, and for such a little diesel, this one sure is packed with
features! That is some seriously amazing work. The light up lights, the fan,
and the vents, OMG! the vents! You NEED to show us how you did those! I wanna
see! This is the first loco in a long time without a damn thing for me to
whine about. The selective compression too is very well done, and the blue
just adds to the perfection. Excellent work.

I’m glad you like it. It makes it very heavy though, so it really needs both
motors. Originally it just had one, but it didn’t move very fast. It also made
the power pick up from the back of the front motor extremely complicated.
That’s much easier now from the front of the rear motor.
The vents are very fiddly, and there are wires wrapped around the mechanism
inside that make it harder to see, too. I don’t really want to dismantle it
just yet!
The fixed part of the vent is made from 1x6 tiles, with 1x1 plates in the gaps.
The moving part is a stack of alternate 2x2 tiles and 1x4 plates, with more 1x1
plates as filler. At a different place on each stack, one of the 1x4 plates is
replaced with a plate with bar/hook. That lets you manipulate it in and out
using a lever inside the body.
The lever mechanism inside is a long scissor jack made from thin technic beams,
and it’s pushed or pulled by the rear bogey.
