Gianluca,
Thanks for posting these photos of your creations. They're wonderful.
I particularly like the stud-up and stud-down orientation of the arches used on
the side of the EMD f7 locomotive. What a nice circular hole of good
proportion. Well done.

Going 8-wide gives such a better scale to use regular blocks to approximate
curves. It's quite stunning, yet "only" two studs wider than 6-wide.
I particularly love the roof profile of your 8-wide Metroliner passenger coach.
The transition from 45 degree roof slopes to the more shallow (23 degree?)
slopes is beautiful. A technic employed elsewhere by other modelers? But,
well showcased in your photograph. Always something new to my eye. Thanks.
I look forward to seeing more of your models. Keep it up!
later,
James Mathis
