I am going to be building a diesel locomotive that has no control cab
(since the control cab is in my "track inspection car" that I made) and
want ideas (pictures of prototypes, pictures of other models etc). The main
things I have decided so far are that it will contain no controls (i.e. its

main color with black for the base and wheels and various highlights and
that it will feature the light grey porthole pieces as seen on the Santa Fe
Super Chief (since I bought some and have never used them until now)
