Hot on the heels of my first post, here’s my second (and the reason I got
side tracked) …
I went for a biggie for my first loco MOC so please let me know what you
think of my Canadian Pacific GE Evolution Series in six-wide.

I must say thank you to James Mathis for the steps on the truck, blatantly
pinched from his Alco RS1; and to Tim Gould for posting his version of
(almost) the same loco a couple of weeks ago. I had just received my last
Bricklink order to build the thing but I just wasn’t happy with the rearmost
underside radiator grill and his version presented me with the solution I had
been looking for! (Such a small piece of plagiarism – such a major rebuild!).
Thanks for reading
Play Well

well well done. the model is seemingly simple but well executed. i think my only
gripe would be your stickers. try putting clear box tape over your stickers
before you cut them and apply them to your engine. this emulates the shineyness
of lego stickers and tends to make printed colors match better.

p.s the trick isin’t mine it’s something i learned from brian willams..

| (...) Thanks for the tip Ondrew, I was disapointed with the stickers my ink jet produced. I am going to try using one of the laser copiers at my work at some point as I had a much better (and shinier) match to the LEGO colours. Chris (18 years ago, 12-Mar-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
