I love the Shell wagon and those colors!

I think a smaller street car type train there instead of the freight would work much better.

Very nice locomotive. I see this style of locomotive running down the middle of Delaware Ave. in South Philly shuffling railcars.

Nice Shell color containers. Some rear windows would make life easier for the drivers so that they don't have to stick their heads out the door windows to see when running the engine other direction.

I think a smaller street car type train there instead of the freight would work much better.

It's a nice scene, but I also feel that there is a bit of a mismatch between the diorama and the train... to me the setting feels very tropical whereas the loco suggests an American switcher.

I'd also think about leaving a tad bit more clearance if you actually plan on running the train.

I think that's a very clever locomotive, and very similar to something TLG would create. The use of train doors (similar to kits 4563, 4558 etc) is a very nice touch, since they didn't come from a train model originally

28 studs long also keeps it in perspective to standard train sets. That would look very good with lots of black-and-yellow open cargo wagons from set 4563, or the hopper wagon from 2126.

Very nice locomotive without visible studs. And the Shell wagons are well done too.
