| (...) 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 (...) (19 years ago, 20-Mar-06, to lugnet.trains)

| (...) 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 (...) (19 years ago, 17-Mar-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

I had thought about building the engine in all black, and then (...) (19 years ago, 17-Mar-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| (...) 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 (...) (19 years ago, 17-Mar-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
| | | | | Re: CN engine WIP
|
| (...) 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)

Overall the train is extremely well constructed and detailed but my first impression with that the engine was too stubby even for this stubby six-wider. I (...)

No wrong turn, just a dare from Mat Clayson that I couldn't build an engine and four cars before he built a Moonbase Module. So, this (...) (19 years ago, 17-Mar-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
