On very rare occassions I accept commissions, so for this rare occassion I accepted one to redesign my Pennsy T1: Shark of the Pennsylvania Railroad by SavaTheAggie, on Flickr The client wanted instructions for my new version of the locomotive (I have instructions made for the older, less SNOTty version), but they wanted the as-delivered from the factory "Buick" style cooling shroud on the front. The PRR T1 was delivered with this highly stylized front-end, but it and other bits of streamlining were eventually removed or redesigned to make maintenance easier. The redesigned front end was what I originally modeled. Reference photo: http://www.billspenn...hotoid=60320355 I think I've captured the Buick style shroud pretty well; it still needs a few tweaks, but I think she's looking pretty good: Factory Fresh by SavaTheAggie, on Flickr Note: this is my original model wearing the Buick shroud - so the shield on the nose would be relocated in place of the dark red 2x2 tile. Right now I'm in the middle of testing to make sure the pony truck will still clear the front end. So far so good, but I want to do a lot more testing before I sign off on it. As-Delivered PRR T1 v4 by SavaTheAggie, on Flickr Before you ask - my client has asked for a sole license to the instructions for the new T1 with the Buick front end. I won't be selling it in my shop. --Tony
