(by british standards 2.3 studs is long-nosed, all right.... but the Alco PA-1
is the Jimmy Durante of noses among diesels, I'd say. Or maybe the DL-109 :-) )

I'd say your SNOT is *definitely* up to snuff. This is a very nice model and
captures the spirit of the prototypes rather well, right down to the somewhat
bulldoggish flat front nose. Pity that the windshield is rather a rare part.
For now anyway. :-)
Can you tell us more about how you did the vertical handrails on either side of
the crew doors? That's a nice touch.
All in all, VERY nice eurotrash. :-)
