(...) Not bad, but a bit stubby, as others have said. Try making the cab a bit shorter. That gives a stud or two more to the hood and hides the disproportionality. Also, consider black trucks instead of gray. Gray is a bit too light for most protos (...) (19 years ago, 17-Mar-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Aaron, If I'm suppossed to try and get my MBM done before your train is done, you better slow down. I'll have mine by the next SandLUG meeting. I'll get cracking on this ASAP, but not until after the Thomas the Train event at LL in 1 weeks. (...) (19 years ago, 17-Mar-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
