Just try to smooth things over with a bit of milliput
and see what we'll end up with...

....and then we've got to name this.....creation! lol
 
Wow that looks Pretty good!
Is this something you dreamed up or modelled after a proto loco cause it looks like it "belongs" that way!
I'm guessing made up if you're thinking about a name....
That's what the real RR's did.

Some minor things to do, a bit more sanding etc., etc.

Much obliged young man! Was gonna do some more work on the BARF today, but I hardly slept a wink last night, bl**dy wide awake! lol
Still to decide a paintscheme for the M&W (in the back of my head, the voices keep telling me to change it to Milwaukee & Northwestern, not gonna happen, as I've got a M&W logo), all the good ones have been used....orange/black, blue/black, green/black....maybe go for solid black with some colour, stripes or something...

Need to look at those RS-3's that got their nose lowered, if they kept the doors or if they're all smooth after their 'nose job'...
The tank need to be shortened a few mm...
 
I sit in complete awe!(awwww) THAT is some 'fabricatin'! Well DONE, Sir! I try something like that and I'd end up 'gluing my feet to my shoes'! LOL!
 
Instead of MILW orange and black, how about MILW black and orange? Simply reverse the colors?
 
True...
Have also thought about grey/black, maybe maroon/black or something similar....
Wish I was more computer literate or whatyacallit, then I'd use some of those profiles floating about...
 
Anyway, starting to think about the fiddly project.... As there's gonna be some cutting and sanding, these will disappear from the fuel tank, question is, can they be replaced by a similar fuel filler and sight gauge(?)?
