As most of you know, it was my end of the 24 Hour Build Challenge deal to build a Ghan in 8 wide. So here it is:

(Ignore the Playboy bunny on the side. It’s a trick of the light and Tim R0x0r for teh renderz.)

I’m pretty happy with the overall design; Tim says it’s not as high as it should be, but I figured figs are short to begin with so that was okay. LMK what you all think.

(...) Excellent work! Spotlighted. Thanks for sharing. The Ghan logos do seem to have lost something in the rendering - have you built in real life? Cheers Richie Dulin (19 years ago, 16-Oct-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.au, FTX)

(...) Nice work Swami and better late than never :P. I don't know what happened to the logo but something went wrong... As for minifigs, everyone knows they are tall and broad, not short. That's why trains should be six-wide. Sheesh!!! Tim (19 years ago, 16-Oct-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.au)

Looks quite good, although it's always hard to judge a model purely on a POVRAY/LDRAW picture (ie get off your lazy *&^ and start building ;) ) About height, the model indeed looks a bit "stretched" although I'm not familiar with the original.

This is a great model. I may build it if I can find the parts: I have a suggestion. Put your name in the file as the author. If I build this I would want to be able to tell someone who designed the engine. I would probably forget whose model it is (...) (19 years ago, 16-Oct-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.au)

(...) Very nice, but (URL) is the way it should've been rendered ;) Allister (19 years ago, 18-Oct-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.au, FTX)

		Re: NR-75 - The Ghan (The way it should have been done ;-) )
(...) I was aware of that, but was too lazy to include it. It took two days to render so I'm in no hurry to repeat it for the sake of a sticker. (...) How do you know it isn't there? You can't see that side. ;) Actually it isn't there, but (...) (19 years ago, 27-Oct-05, to lugnet.loc.au, FTX)
