Eric, the anvil was my way of describing the perpendicular, 90-degree quality that the exhaust fans make sticking out from the narrower engine body. While we're on the subject, are you in good with the Man Upstairs? Because shortly after I put my first post here, I reached for a cigar and from beneath the box fluttered a photo of a (July 4, Rochelle) espee loco that demostrates the principle very well. This is especially true because the (then) front end, along with said metaphorical anvil, are in espee red. This is the only loco hauling what appears to be an empty unit train, which would be pretty weird because it's EMPTY and heading EAST toward Northeastern Illinois and Chicago! Another (slight) weirdity is that the loco is being operated cab-backward, so to speak, so I get a great view of "catfish whisker" guardrails on the front -- they and the ones on the side are of a light metal, unlike the struts underneath the ones on the side, which look black. The drawback is that serial no. is not to be seen. If you'd like to e-mail me at smalling_60626@yahoo.com, I'll be happy to "snail mail" you the photo in question. Sorry, but I haven't gone digital yet. Allen Smalling
