Take a look and let me know what you think.

Hi Bob,

I really love the shape you've managed to get in this train. It really captures
the tapered teardrop of older streamlining. My one nitpick is the doors. They
don't quite seem right to me but I can't quite put my finger on why. Perhaps
rather than indenting them you could mark them out some other way?

Anyway, I dig the train and especially like the nose (which I said last time).

Tim

Tim,

I agree with you about the doors.  On the prototype the large door in the front
car is for the railway post office.  It is a sliding door and is just slightly
indented.  The passenger doors are flush and open outward.  I tried it with the
doors flush and things seemed too flat.  I tried to do a very slight indent, but
I could not get one I liked that was "structuraly sound", so I went with the
half stud offset.  I may revisit the doors later.


Thanks for the feedback.

Bob
