As a train novice, it is perhaps not entirely my place to comment, but I am
very impressed. I would never have guessed this was a beginning; it looks
like the work of an experienced train builder. As I’m just starting into
trains, myself, seeing this really gives me hope that I might be able to come
up with something half as clean and sharp.
I am very impressed by the SNOT striping on the engine, definately not the
first solution that comes to my mind, but I can’t think of a better way to do
it. The box car looks great, very good use of the waffle plates. I really
like the look of the gondola, but I think I’d want more pics of it to get a
better idea of its shape.
Excellent work all around.

Anthony,
I saw your posts on your Polar Express. Hope you succeed. Glad you like this
one. I’d say if you used to be into HO, you’ll do as well as I did (also a model
railroader).
I had thought about building the engine in all black, and then have white vinyl
stripes made for it (I work at a sign shop with a vinyl plotter). But my wife,
ever the optimist of my abilities said that was cheating. She said I’d find a
way to build the stripes from LEGO.
The Reefer car was inspired by the waffle plates- instead of the waffle plates
being the solution to building a waffle side reefer.
Don’t worry, these are preliminary ‘quick shots’ There will be well-lit,
multiple photos later on.
I’m considering building a Montana Rail Link engine as well, but it’s nose
stripes are so small, I think vinyl or stickers are going to be the only option.
We’ll see.
Aaron
