I did use the 45 degree slopes, I know the angle isn't perfect, but it still
gave a good look for the size of the engine. I built the engines on the long
red train plates. I'm probally going to go back and remove the plates and
stretch out the engines to remove the cartoon look that goes along with LEGO
trains. I wish I could use three axle wheel sets on the front and back, I do
have have three axle sets on the back of the engines.
I find the hardest part is getting the windows on the front to look proper,
I think I spent a week with different configurations till I found one that
stuck.
