   I love it! Nicely done Cale. I like the fact that you went to the trouble to accurately model the motor as well. Great attention to detail. I missed the Frisco version of this at the NMRA, but am glad that you revisited it with the Pennsylvania. I think this one turned out less blocky.

Thanks. Having the doors there kind of necessitated having something behind there. At least for me. Tracking down pictures of the engine proved pretty dificult though. I still haven’t found any of the engine actually in the loco so I just guest on some details. I’m probably the only one who would notice any way. :)

This was my first serious tempt at tiling a whole loco. It certainly helps clean up the lines and curves. At some point I want to go back and update the Frisco with tile and the more accurate engine. One thing I noticed on your FM (excellent MOC by the way) that I neglected on mine was the grillwork on top of the hood.
