Not disappointed at all. In fact, quite pleased to see the RTChallenge 
still going on -- I've been out of touch for a while. I like the 
RTChallenge concept selection and a quick visit shows some great images.

I'm not suggesting otherwise, but know from my own experience with 
rounding objects that one must usually select a set of compromises and 
constraints which affect the structure of his model as much as did the 
manufacturing constraints of a real-life steam engine's construction 
affect its structure.

It is, for me, interesting and often educational to see a similar model 
constructed within a different set of constraints. So interesting, in 
fact, that if I were to attempt to model a locomotive, I would likely 
select an extremely limiting set of constraints in order to see how the 
model developed within them.
