LEGO Santa Fe EMD F7
After deciding to build this for real, I’ve realized it’s a very difficult shape to capture in brick. There are some angles I like, and plenty I don’t. If you squint, you can see what I’m going for. The windows look okay, but they’re far from perfect—particularly too low toward the sides of the loco.
The front works well enough, but the new 2×3 curved slope from the latest Gizmo set might be the answer. I actually think it would be perfect for Tony Sava’s legendary 8-wide model.
I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on what I could improve.
