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 unless they are brand new or kept clean.

Oh, yea, it’s waaaay to short to be prototypical. But I see what you mean
about the safety cab hood being a little too short. Don’t know how much I can
change in the cab, and keep the snotty windows. As for the striped portion, I
think it’s proportionally too long, but the overall engine length is too
short.

I think I may not have spoken clearly, my apologies.
Older hood units have 2 hoods, one long one and one short one. With a safety cab
(or full width cab and nose) the engine only has one hood, the long one, which
in this paint scheme carries the black and white diagonals. It’s my view *that*
hood (the long hood) is too short, not too long. It may not measure out that way
but it’s how it feels.

| (...) It does look a little stubby--so I agree with Larry. However, it's sooooo cute being stubby :) Dave K -never overlook the 'cute' factor! (19 years ago, 17-Mar-06, to lugnet.trains)
