Yet another 8 wide from James Mathis:

Nice job!  Although I don't see any new innovative techniques, the model looks
very realistic.  Great details!  Almost makes we want to get into trains...but
I have no money...just a bunch of 4.5 track and about 12 or so single wheel
sets (unadorned 2x4 brick with black or red wheels).
I'll just have to build another truck. (I now have some 6 wide windshields...
that means I can build at least an 8 wide truck :)

Hey Bram, why don't you create some really cool locos and cars in ldraw??  I
mean, for me, a ldraw MOC rendered in POV Ray is cooler than digital pics of
actual MOCs any day!!  An MOC is only cooler in person...

Really, I think the "it has actually been built factor" lends a lot of coolness
to the digital pictures. When I see the cool POV Ray stuff I always wind up
thinking "Cool, to bad it is not real". On the other hand, a picture AND an MOC
rendered in POV Ray would be very cool.

OK, I'll admit it. This one took me a while...
