This is a capture of the tender in pre-alpha mode.
Work in progress.

About the inside:
I prefer to model a 3Dcab.
Perhaps in the future, but actually I am working in various projects.

Regards,

Nice looking tender. I will note that either the tender is a tad too tall or the turbine is not to scale.

Your turbine has a set of drawings in Model Railroader Cyclopedia, Vol. 2: Diesel Locomotives Paperback –May, 1991 My link

The UP 9000 4-12-2 steam tenders were the base for the early first gen fuel tenders. The tanks being cut off and welded together to form the tender. I believe the tender is in Model Railroader Cyclopedia, Vol. 1: Steam Locomotives

Is a perspectiva effect.
In "Turbines Westward" form Thos. R. Lee
there are a set of drawings, and a lot of detailed pictures.
The first tender for turbines was BIG.

Regards.

My cab reference was not to the cabview--it was the fact that the cab is just an empty white room when viewed from the outside view of the locomotive. The details, including the opening doors, of the outside of the locomotive are fantastic, but the absence of cab detail detracts from the other detail on the model. Just my opinion, of course.

Hi, I am wondering if there is any update on the fuel tender for this turbine?
