Carmine that looks very nice!
What are the two little tabs on the cab roof behind the AC unit?

Carmine, I love the use of Southern Pacific and Cotton Belt decals for the road name. There's a reason why the best art comes from starving artists. Poverty is the best motivation for creativity (even an artist has to eat).

That's what I thought, but I had to make sure that they weren't mounts for a wing of some sort. Around these parts, people put aerodynamic??? wings on all sorts of vehicles and in the weirdest places.
