Thanks for the comments Tim
As one anonymous MOCPages reviewer has already remarked, this is yet another
derivative of the Super Chief set. That I'll freely admit, as I intended it to
be that way from the get-go. I wanted casual LEGO fans (who may have ordered the
10020 set from LEGO S@H in the past), as well as AFOL's and rail buffs alike, to
be able to recognize the model on more than just one level.
Yes, I could have built an 8-wide, ALCO FA-looking rendition of the 10020 had I
wanted to, but I wanted to honor TLG for what I consider to be their greatest
train set produced up to this point. (That, and I'll always be a six-wide
builder at heart)
I'll be posting updated photos of the locomotives later on over at Maj.com.
Already I have eliminated the jog in colors between the 'bley' and red behind
the cab. The only issue preventing me from posting the entire A-B-B-A set
together is that I'm still waiting for parts needed to complete the roof of cab
unit #4D.
