Parts for the OB coaches and to finish up the CN cars were delayed, but should be here today. I've taken the opportunity to focus in on getting #601 up and running. I added the engineer side rods and drive gear and spent some time making sure it was smooth running. Then, I set to putting together the cab. The trick for this one is the slanted windows (thanks to Nate who I believe came up with the solution for Nate and Cale's Challenger Challenge) and then having the 1x3x1 curved slope roof at a half plate offset to smoothly transition to the 1x2 45 slopes with cutout. Good progress. Shouldn't be long now.
