None the less, here are the two different ways I created an inverted sloping grille. In the 6-wide version http://cmasi.chem.tulane.edu/~lego/trains/Engine%20gallery/EMD_SD40_2/emd_sd40-2.htm the tiles were not securely attached http://cmasi.chem.tulane.edu/~lego/trains/Engine%20gallery/EMD_SD40_2/radiator_bubble.htm In the 8-wide version http://cmasi.chem.tulane.edu/~lego/NOLTC/engines/emd_sd40-2/emd_sd40-2.htm this is probably the best view to see the slope of the tiles http://cmasi.chem.tulane.edu/~lego/NOLTC/engines/emd_sd40-2/emd_sd40-2_low_fs.htm the tiles are securely attached http://cmasi.chem.tulane.edu/~lego/NOLTC/engines/emd_sd40-2/radiator_bubble.htm When I read statements like "it can't be done in LEGO" I always wonder who will be the first one to take the challenge and do it.
