Thanks, I'm relatively pleased with it too! It actually wasn't an original
idea though. Ben Fleskes used the same part (in yellow) for a Union Pacific
F7. You can see it in the PNLTC gallery. Here's a direct link to the large
picture of Ben's engine:

I mounted the porthole pieces differently than he did, but its the same
idea. I'm quite pleased with how the engine turned out.
The reason I went with the 7 wide design was to get that rounded-over look
on the headlight at the front of the engine. I tried many things, but with
7 wide, I could use the 1x1 round right there in the center to get that hump
I wanted.
Anyway, that's my foray into the world of 7-wide. It certainly has its onw
set of issues!
