Thanks. There must be a cold goin' round... More SNOT from many LEGO
Trainiacs. Most notably Ben F.'s streamlined steam loco.
For my green DB139, I wish I could gently slope the front....
If you look closely, you might be able to see that the roof is an odd number of
studs long from one windscreen to the other. The 1/4-curved green roof caps
are 1/2-stud offset from the main body studs. Lot's of 1x2 green plates with
single off-set center stud.
I haven't had a chance to use the digital camera to take closeups of the engine
and photos of its construction technique. More to come....sometime....
later,
James Mathis
