Here’s my latest steam engine I’ve been working on. It’s lacking stickers, but
someday I’ll find a printer that can print decent stickers from home. Till then
I’ll have to wait till I can find the time to borrow the use of my father’s
printer.

It is a fully track compatible Hudson Class (4-6-4) steamer with Henry Dreyfuss
inspired streamlining. I say inspired because these locomotives, designed
exclusively for the New York Central lines for their 20th Century Limited, never
came in yellow. But not all the parts I needed came in yellow, and I didn’t
have a yellow locomotive yet. I think it turned out pretty nifty.
The locomotive will be numbered ‘7244’, and will carry the ‘Sava Railways’
livery on the tender. It’s name, the ‘Tequila Sunrise’, comes from the fact
that it’s blindingly yellow and my locomotive will be paired with Santa Fe Super
Chief Pullman cars, at least till I can afford to make matching passenger cars.
Plus I like the play on meaning (a Tequila Sunrise is an orange juice based
alcoholic beverage).
I’ll take more pictures when I have the stickers made and I have more energy.
Please let me know what you think!

Also the colour scheme is ok, it reminds a little bit of a comic style. (...) (18 years ago, 16-May-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general, FTX)

| Nicely done Tony. I snuck in a few peeks on the Flickr page last week, and saw that it was really coming together. Turned out great. The cow-catcher came out very well using that method. I'm still dabbling with my Hudson streamline concepts... I (...) (18 years ago, 16-May-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general, FTX)

You've captured the streamlined twenties look very well-- nice and clean, and well-rounded. It looks fast just (...) (18 years ago, 17-May-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general, FTX)
