The build looks great, and big too.

Pretty slick! Very good detail all around and clever tricks abound. I like
the spark arresters on the stacks. The rear of the cab looks well detailed,
do you have a photo of the rear when it is all together too? The only
suggestion I have is that you might want to flatten out the top of the
handrails on the front sides.

PS, I’ll try to dig up a photo I have of an NP sw1200 for you.

Thanks, Benn. Here’s a picture of the rear. I choose not to have the handrails at an
angle since I felt that it couldn’t be properly done. If you can’t tell, the
rear was inspired in part by Tim Gould’s
VO-660.
I’ve been trying to flatten out the top of the front handrails but I’m not
having any luck. I tried the trick with the paper clip but the paper clip
was to narrow gauged (pun intended?) to stay in place and the metal it was
made of was too fragile (it broke when I tried to take it out). Does anyone
have any suggestions?

I’ve used brass rod from a hobby shop.

Thanks for the suggestion, Mat. I’m going to pic up some waterslide decals at
the hobby shop later so I’ll make sure to get some brass rod while I am there. I
came up with a solution for the hand rails on the rear of the cab,
here it is. - Matt
