Looking at a picture of 1522 next to your model makes me think in the back of my head that the headlight hood is a little short. Or is it just my imagination?

I will have to look, I have to rebuild it anyway to be smoother. Thanks for pointing that possibility out.

So I havent done much at all beside reworked some things like the headlight. I applied a few practice textures to test UVW mapping. Such as the wheels, bell, coonskin plaque, number boards, and Cab side. I like to think she is looking good.

It's really taking great shape ... but the bell needs just a tad of curve to its mid section, as it looks like a upside-down terra-cotta plant vase. Are you sure the tanks mounted with those supports ? I'm picking nits ... I'm a lousey nit picker.

Lol thanks guys. And Those are just to use as the default height for the torpedo tubes. What I see Frisco looks very similar to them. I also followed a diagram or picture rather of the bell.

Got some updates. Got the piping inside the torpedo tubes made, got the westing house made, and got the pop valves made.

The front looks excellent. However, the rear firebox-ashpan-cab bit, it looks a bit weird, to be honest.

The Cab floor needs to be higher, and the area under the cab needs to be filled out. Also, you could do some adjustments to the cab roof.

Other than that, it looks excellent. I love the front end and Torpedo Tube detail.

Trainboi1 pointed that out to me and I have fixed it. Whatever info I was using was seriously wrong.
