A lot of John's stuff is over the limit too!  J1 and I are convinced he
won't be happy until he can built at a 12 inches = 1 foot scale.

Do you have details about the sizes of your work? We know how wide everything
is, but I was wondering how long the box car was.

Sorry for the delayed response - I've been busy with other stuff for a while...

Those big box cars are 42 studs long and the big hopper is 43 studs.  the SD90
is 50 studs long, which exceeds GMLTC's proposed limit by 6 studs, but the real
thing should be even longer!

Thanks for the compliments by the way.

No need to apologize for any delay. I just like to get a feeling for how big
everyone is building. I think I caught Nealitis in a big way. Most of my stuff
is right at the GMLTC limit, and some of my stuff is over the limit by quite a
bit (15 studs over for my SD40-2[1]). But I am having fun building, and that is
the important part.

I didn't say it before, but those SD90's would look even more awesome if they
were longer :?) Again, love your work, and I am happy to have learned a few new
things while checking out your models.

Thanks for the extra info,
Chris

1. Technically, according to my scaling scheme, my engine is a few stud too long.
