I have posted some images of a high speed locomotive I put together last night. They are on BrickShelf at (URL) . The front uses one of those big 6x8x3 windscreens (part# 551) covered with tape. Is that pure? No - but it looks a lot better than a (...) (24 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) When I see that yellow nose against black and white, I get squeemish. ;-) However, I recall that Brit-Rail's InterCity 125 was adorned with a yellow nose, as were most of their locomotives in the early 1980's. I liked their "look". So, I (...) (24 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Sure! I can think of a few....like (most) of the steamers...although, not all. Some of the Sentinels operated by the foundry (??? name forgets me, but Ronald (sp) was one of them...) had yellow/black buffer beams, that was about 83. James (24 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains)
