Dear Ted,
this engine is amazing for a LDD creation! There are some really well done
details on your design. Allthough I am not familiar with US trains, I
immediately recognized this engine (prototype pictures must have been on my
screen over the past years.)
So what do I like most?
The boiler tip rocks! This submarine-like shape is solved perfectly in your LEGO
model. I love the detail work on the tender. The top of the rear side ladder
(the robot arms). The rounded edges on top, the coal and the face side to the
engine.
I also like your nice photograph with the 5 engineers in front of the loco.
On the other hand I see a few week spots that may to be improved:
the engine looks to high to me: the real one has the driver wheels slighly
hidden on their top edge. The BBB-wheels should nearly touch the yellow stripe.
Try to get this done as near as possible (maybe by use of any other technic
elements as pivot points).
The cabin might be better done in 5-long. At least for my eyes it looks to long
with the compressed design (and the boiler 1 stud too short).
And I think there should be a possibility to hide the tender wheels.
Look at this gallery of Jeremy Rear to get an impression:
Maybe you could live with 2 motors and a wrong count of (anyway hidden) wheels?
Or use trucks like
this if you
don’t want to include 2 motors.
But these are only minor critics. I see that you have done a really good work
for 6-wide. Maybe you want to give 7-wide a trial next. ;-)
Leg Godt!
