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 ...
