Hi all,
After reading Ben’s article about building steam trains I decided to try out my
new BBB wheels and build one in real life (thus making sure it could run around
curves). I’d seen a few Japanese steamers in my searches so decided to try one
of them: the C58-363 Paleo
Express.
Please let me know what you think and please feel free to offer any criticisms
and suggestions you feel like. I’m still a bit unsteady on my feet with steam
greebling so advice in that area would be more than welcome.
Thanks,
Tim
PS. If I don’t respond, my apologies. I’ll be on holidays for the next week and
don’t know if I’ll have internet access.

A very nice piece of engineering! As usual, I love the details.
As someone already noticed on Flickr, the two “shields” on the front seem to
be a bit too thick, although I am aware this might be as best as it can get
without ruining other details (and in addition having studs on the sides).
I wonder whether the double-plate problem you mentioned might be avoided on
the very front studs, still giving it a bit of sharpness...
