Great work, Tom.  I like the layout of your page-- very clean.  And great
looking MOCs.  You are too good for 6 wide (come to the dark side;)

I found the high noses on your EMDs interesting.  Are you working from
specific pics?  I wasn't aware of high nose versions in these make (when I see
high nose, I think GP-9).

I like the caboose, although your posts are way too thick.  Even at 14 wide I
used flex tubing for mine-- would probably look okay at 6-8 wide too.

Nice variety.  You are raising the bar, as Lar would say, for 6 widers-- 8
wide, too, for that matter:-)
