(...) Hi Tim, This is great! I'm always happy to see you turn your talent on a North American locomotive. All of your work is great, I'm just a big NA freight fan, so I get extra excited about that stuff. I agree the nose on these wide-cab GE units (...) (18 years ago, 24-Feb-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) You could put a technic 1x1 brick with pin behind the headlight bricks to add some security. Not behind each one but maybe every other one or two (or five)?
