Shupp, amazing build on your E7. It gave me so many ideas. And thanks also for the 3 axle truck plans. B E A utiful! I love the design on the E7. My attempt so far is 6 wide, but your 8 wide version has me really thinking of going bigger. I also love your cars. Excellent work. Thanks again.

That is an interesting suggestion. I will try that out. I will let you know if I have any success.

The bulge is only on one side, and its not a full stud "bulge". The train is 4.5 studs wide there (uses 1x2 plate with 1 stud jumpers to move it out slightly).

Here is my attempt at adding PF to the BNSF. I still need to make decals to cover the battery and IR receiver. I even have room inside between the battery and IR receiver for the polarity switch to run 2 motors on this one. I have several other modifications that are also going on with this one, but for just adding PF to this, very few additional parts are needed. I even have an on/off switch built into the rear fan blade like the one on the 7939 cargo train. As you can see, I changed the roof of the cab (lowered its height slightly and got rid of black roof), I changed the rear panel, I am adding steps front and back, I tiled up the roof, and changed fan blades over to the train wheels that actually work well as fan blades. Still waiting on a few parts from BL, then its decal time.
