I wasn’t going to post this, but after John Neal complained (and accurately
so) that it was too quiet in Lugnet.trains, I decided to go ahead.
As some may remember from the thread concerning my ten wheeler steam engine
“Lady”, I was considering building the Blue Mountain & Reading #425 steam
engine. The #425 is
a Pacific class locomotive, and though I was excited about building it, I’ve
already done a Pacific class, as well as a very similarly designed Hudson, so
it wasn’t going to be a very exciting build unless I changed something.
So I decided to challenge myself and build it 7-wide with a SNOT boiler,
going for as round a look as possible. Using ideas from
Tim Gould and
Benn Coifman, I was able to come up
with a ~5-wide SNOT boiler I’m pleased with.
So far I think it’s coming along well.

And here’s a quick look at the design I used (click on the pictures to see
details and notes):

Any comments and criticism is welcome.
So there you go, John. I’ve contributed to the activity to Lugnet.trains
this week. :)

Very nice. I saw your comment on flickr about the running boards. You might want
to try what I did on my similarly snotted boiler. I used white for the running
boards, but then right above I used 1x2x1 panels instead of tiles. That way it
hides the top of the white tiles while showing the edge. Though looking closer,
I see that your running boards stick out 1.5 studs so this trick might not work
in this case.
Keep up the good work,
Benn
