Here she is, finally complete in all her cheese slope-y, SNOTty, 7-wide glory.
I must say I’m very please with how she turned out. She’s fully track
compatible and uses the split-pony truck design I’ve used before. The folks
that run the real #425 use an auxiliary tender nearly identical to the primary
one as a canteen, so I figured might as well build that one, too.
A big thank you to Ben and his fabulous Blue Big Ben Brick Steam Engine Wheels,
for without them I never would have attempted to build her.

Another fantastic job Tony. That second tender really says presence and power.
I cant wait to see what you come up with next.

Just beautiful Tony! Your decals are great as well; are they just sticker paper?
I’m still hoping that I get to see this in person at Brickworld!

Thanks much! My decals are Photo Sticker Paper, available at Office Depot.
It’s a pain in the butt to peel the backs off the stickers, since you have to
cut your own custom sizes without pre-set perforations, but worth it.
Things aren’t looking good for Brickworld and me this year, but who knows.
Hopefully next year will bring better luck.

As with other trains of yours, this one transcends the line between train and
work of art. I just think it’s great! Models like this one are a clear
reminder of why the LEGO Train hobby is so great! (as are BBB wheels) Very
nice work!

Wow, thanks much! I don’t think I’m deserving of such high praise, but I
appreciate it. I’d have never gotten into the train hobby had it not been for
Ben and his BBB Wheels.

Nice build, I like the detailing under the running boards on the engineer’s
side. I saw the flickr comment on the pilot. One idea might be to flip the mech
arms upside down (so they bend upward) in the middle of the pilot and/or at the
transition point.
