Hi Shaun,

great! I love to see your BR 18 steamer. Nice details and the fact, that the
pistons will move is just great.

Getting these monsters through curves and pistons ist a real problem. I
spend quite some time experiementing on my BR 10 design:

As the 4-6-2 configuration is the same, we develloped similar solutions. But
having space for the pistons is even a greater challenge ...

Compare your design ...

It does, however, have a
tendency to derail when run too fast.

Ohh, I know that problem very weel. My BR 10 can't go through curves in full
speed. But pulling 5 coaches, there is no problem.

Go for some coaches!

Regards,
HoMa
