| Chris, The GP-35s look great, even better now that you've added the twin. Its so hard to get that front end to look correct (even with 8 wide I would think), but you've done a good job of it. I could easily tell what kind of engines they were by (...) (24 years ago, 24-May-00, to lugnet.trains)

| (...) Thanks James! The angle on the front has bothered me for a while. It's too shallow to be represented by the 45 degree slopes, but I am happy with my current solution. When I rebuild these eight wide in a few months I am going to try to use the (...) (24 years ago, 24-May-00, to lugnet.trains)

| Yep, that clears it up. You think the low slopes (the 4x3x1, 2x3x1, or 1x3x1) would make a better nose. I thought you meant the 2x2x2 steep slopes. Thanks, Chris (...) (24 years ago, 24-May-00, to lugnet.trains)
