Is what I have got done so far. 3 Coaches, one Beavertail, one steam heat
van, one ~FP7A. Nose on the FP is hard to do. To do it right, we need some
transition curves, from one plane into another.
I think the beavertail is likely wrong, it should be Stainless with a blue band
along the top- my 'Canadian' photos don't have any photos of the beavertail
painted except like that, but for uniformity, it looks right. Also, even
though there has been much prodding around here, it is still a 6 wide model. 8
wide would have been much easier for some details (like I could get 2 seats
across in each coach-that would be quite nice), but would have limited its use
for NALUG. Height wise, it is quite tall, at a clearance of 13 from the track
bed. If the Naboo fighter cockpits were available in a longer form, I would
use them to create a dome car as well as the beavertail, as it stands the
beavertail dome looks somewhat trundicated anyway, and it is only a small dome
on the real things.
I've started on .dats, when I finish them, they (in entirety) will be posted.
Mostly it is a very simple set of designs.
LMKWYT eh?

I assume you did the lettering with the same tape striping as the doors? Nice work. I dusted off (...) (24 years ago, 24-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

| (...) --snipped-- Well james they are nice but I too agree that they are short. When I travel on VIA I have noticed a couple of engines. I see the FP9A (the one you did). The VIA LRC seen here (URL) that provides a different option for modeling via, (...) (24 years ago, 24-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)
