When viewed at eye level (my layout is designed at 56"), most of the issues go away. The alternative is a $600 loco.I've got one on the way for that purpose. Rather than scratch the whole nose though, I'll probably just add to the back of it and touch up the paint. It will be BNSF patch anyway. Now if I could just get my hands on enough autoracks...

Thanks for the offer, how far did you get with it and what didn't work out?
