Excellent model, Kevin! Nice work. I've got to check my parts now to see how
close I'll come to the 40 stud drop plate you designed...
I seem to recall that when I saw this P42DC Amtrak engine in person last year,
the single exhaust fan that you refer to was pretty loud. I thought (from
ground level) that there were multiple fans on that baby, but I was able to get
an overhead view of it, and it had one big loud fan. It could use more than
one, so I liked your model the way it was!
Thanks again,
Ed
