Very nice, Chuck-- I like all of the working elements you have incorporated!
There are a lot of nice surfaces and details that make this engine interesting
to look at.
There is, however, one important detail that you have omitted which will come
in handy-- a *fuel tank*:-) For me, a nice, big and low fuel tank really helps
give a loco MOC a beefy and heavy look-- and luckily, the parts required to
build one are plentiful and cheap;-)
Thanks for posting!
