You want the Diamond Special as it is closer to Z. The Bumble Bee is disportionate, closer to Nn3.

Of course the solution to the Bumble Bee size is to do what Robert Ray did and I would do if I had one is to paint it black. When something is all black if visually makes the object a little small to the viewer. This is a reason you don't see many football teams wearing all black uniforms. As usual perception raises it's head. Cheers, Jim CCRR:)

But the team with the black uniforms won the Super Bowl, Go Steelers, sorry Jim. Rob would agree with me on this one, Black and Gold, define irony, forever.

Eric, Ha, ha. Sorry you missed the Super Bowl this year. I could have sworn that Pittsburgh unis were white jerseys and black pants. I don't think they have ever been all black. The only team that defies the all black rule of thumb is the New Zealand nation rugby team, interestly called the All Blacks. Don't mess with them. Cheers, Jim CCRR:laugh:

Yeah, yeah, we did have the white jerseys on for the Bowl but, all the games before that, i.e. the playoffs, we wore the black "home" jerseys. Either way though, it is a good point a black engine does look smaller especially if the scenery contrasts with it i.e. the Southern division.
