Howdy y'all! My latest, and, IMO, greatest engine has finally been photographed. It's a Níagara-class 4-8-4 dual service engine, owned by the Mexican National Railways. There's prototype pics at the bottom. On the details side, there are red-accented safety details, boiler steps, and a detailed backhead with firebox glow. I also put on simulated builder's plates near the front of the boiler. It also has working side rods and an operating headlight. The simulated three-axle tender trucks and side rods are Shaun's design. The numerous number boards around the headlight are thanks to a 1x1 w/ studs on all sides fitted onto the light bulb.

PLMKWYT! -Stefan-
