   Morning

    I am wondering whether the judges were aware that the smokebox doors on the prototypes were designed to open, unlike the doors on models.
    Wouldn't there have been a good chance that the rail on one end would be shorter to clear the smokebox door when opened fully? This isn't a standard gauge engine; a small diameter smokebox indeed. Not every roundhouse employee could navigate such a small opening- much less should the door not open fully.
    Kudos for modeling this feature.
