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.

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.
