I would agree with everyone that the long hood is too short for the train, but
at least in person, it feels proptionally too long compared to the Cab/nose.
But from what I've been told, building it as a 6-axle SD would be much harder.
So I consider it a LEGO-ized version, similar to the BNSF and the 'Minifig'
proportions.
I've got one more train car to build to beat Mat, but I want to do something
interesting. I've always been intrigued by MOW equipment, especially wierder old
cars like fire fighting equipment, cranes, etc.
May I request some submissions of wierd or rare railcars that would be fun to
build from LEGO bricks?
