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.
