Tonight I started work on a Santa Fe locomotive based on a picture in an • LGB
catalog.  Although I can't find a picture of the exact train on the web
anywhere, the picture in the LGB catalog is fairly close to this one:

HTTP://ARCHIVE.TRAINPIX.COM/ATSF/EMDORIG/GP60M/100.HTM (yes an all caps • URL)

My efforts this evening yielded this:

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=2489 (warning - pictures • are
large, I used the wrong resolution)

It isn't complete, the bottom (trucks and front end in particular) need • some
more work.

Rev. 2 of my Santa Fe Warbonnet locomotive is now complete.

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=2517

This version is six studs longer than the previous one and no longer sits on
a wagon plate.  I'll probably fiddle around with the front end some more but
I am pretty happy with it.  I think I will be able to make a second one as
well.  The dummy truck (rear) is a direct copy of Larry P.'s clever design.
