Here are a couple of shots of my original scratch built GE 85 ton steeple cab

Before details and the final frame.

Details added and final frame. It is meant for display, but free wheels and could be pulled on the layout.

Nice!

This is a great looking locomotive.  From the photos, I can't see if there's a door on each end of the cab leading onto the deck--is there?  From this angle, it looks just like the (green) GE steeplecab at the Seashore Trolley Museum in Maine, except that that one has two trolley poles instead of the pantograph.

Doors

There are doors on both sides. I enlarged them proportional to the cab enlargement.
