            thanks for the encouragement this is my progress for Sunday approximately 5 hours work (including mistakes etc etc)....the going is slow but sure β˜€

            Of course i have NOW come across some good photos of the bogie so that is due for an upgrade (big time)
            I like jobs where the end is not in sight more like a merry-go-round see later

              Very nice, you could try to keep it under 50,000 polys and be able to enjoy it in Rail-Simulator and make use of the time spent!
              I've been also wanting to do an American locomotive, is there a blueprint site that stands out? I'm not too inclined in doing the common SD40-2. Cheers!

                      Don't ask about the polly count that's out the window I have decided to plow on and finish the model then return and seriously tackle the problem of polly reduction.
                      The drawing from which the latest 2D pics was taken is 4.89 meg and rising
