For my next LDD MOC, I built a PRR T1 #6110 (4-4-4-4 duplex-drive steam locomotive). I’ve uploaded it to the Lego® Factory, so once it is approved you can take a closer look.

My new BBB wheels arrived in the mail today, so this may be the one that I actually buy and build. When building, I may use 1x3 curves over the cab. I may also extend the length of the tender, and track down some PRR stickers (although the PRR sign out of Legos® isn’t too bad).

How about Ed Wooding’s version? Although not in Lego, it is a absolute work of art... http://users.rcn.com/borders/woodings/

Very nice work. I had not seen that. Thanks for linking the pics. It definitely helps show the details of the PRR T1, and gives me more ideas for improvements to my Lego® version once I go to build it.

Per above, I have added a bit more detailing to my LDD model. I added side steps and rails to the cab’s side “doors”. I extended the tender and added an access ladder and some marklights on the back... I would ideally use 1X3 smooth curves on the top of the cab, but they’re not in LDD...

I’m still trying to re-work the cow-catcher; I decided to add the piston housings for the front drive-wheel pair on outside (eventhough under the shroud in reality) and add a PRR front-plate. There is no 1x1 red flat plate in LDD, so still deciding how to handle. Also removed the rungs hanging down the sides of the catcher shroud as I wanted to smooth out the top with flat plates.

...at this point, I think I’m ready to build this in reality...
