    Here's my latest attempt at recreating a Milwaukee Road locomotive.

    Refugee from the washrack! If they ever peeled away the grime, what would be found underneath? :D This definitely captures late years....

    She's been working way to hard to worry about hitting the wash rack. :)

    Bob-

    Is it just the photo? Or did the shell/walkway originally actually have a slight curvature?

    Sure did, Ken. Frame and shell. I had to correct both.

    That is some really top shelf modeling, what an honest-a-goodness masterpiece model!

    I especially like how realistic your weathering is, so few people know how to subtly weather a diesel, especially its trucks, correctly.

    The fuel take modification adds a ton to it as well! EXCELLENT WORK!

    Thanks for the kind words, guys. I really do like how this unit turned out. Now I need a diorama that looks at least something like a NML scene to photograph it on. :)
