It looks fine to me. Hopefully Raymond would have accepted it too.
Anything contemporary in design, I like. Furniture, whatever…Those Rods in your photo almost look like chrome accents on an automobile.
I might comment, we’re accepting Prayers from all directions. Wife, Jean in our great I U Ball Hospital for open heart surgery, Monday morning.
Heart valve: Mitral to be repaired / replaced…Thanks.
Per Junithas comments about Picasso and Dali: It reminds me of something Dali used to say…
“Picasso is a Spaniard. Me too! Picasso is a genius! Me too! Picasso is a Communist! ME NEITHER!!!”
And Modelcar: Best wishes and prayers for your wifes speedy recovery! God bless you both!
Juniatha,
Apparently Raymond Loewy was not happy about F-M chopping six feet off the nose of his design for F-M’s first road power commonly referred to as the Erie-builts. The original nose was supposed to be 15 feet long, but they came out with 9 foot noses. This is from the article in November 1964 Trains.
I don’t know why Loewy went for the long nose, one guess is that it would have provided more crew protection in case of a head on collision or grade crossing collision.

Thank you for your kind thoughts and Prayers…Much appreciated.
Hi Quentin
Please accept my empathy in this ordeal of life .
In moments like this we feel like ships passing in the night -
and so schooner Juniatha wires to you :
“Wish you good luck for your passage through the narrows !”
With all my best wishes for Jean’s operation
Juniatha
Juniatha…
Thank you…Appreciate the kind words.
Quentin,
I hope Jean’s operation goes well and the results are what was hoped for.

Erik…The Surgeon briefed me mid afternoon, we had a successful operation. Replaced the Aorta valve and one by pass. Now, we’ll pray for a good recovery and next a better quality of life.
Thanks for expressing your thoughts…and that’s goes for all who did…Thank You.
The beauty of fine workmanship!
Quentin,
Good to hear that the operation went well and hope Jean’s quality does improve. I had a stent put into artery a bit over seven years ago and noticed that I was doing better within a couple of weeks.

Thank you Erik and everyone remembering us…Believe we’re living on Prayers to keep us going.
2nd day of recovery was a struggle…Understand medically, most readings are pretty good, but these early days of recovery of these serious op’s, call on one’s max.
Hello Modelcar! A bit off topic here, but how’s the wifes recovery going? Hope everything’s going well for her!
Oh, so many good people on here…
Thank you Firelock76 for remembering. We’re at home now, but as many folks know, recovery is a struggle too…But with the help of Prayers, and being home here…We’re doing our best to make the outcome back to good health.
Quentin Mong
