Hey,

That looks good! Is it modeled after any specific engine? I like the
way you and others are using the old 4.5v/12v wheelsets for the leading
truck. A cheery (not cherry) red steamer is a big departure from all the
black steamers I have been seeing lately.
More views would be nice!

Chris



Thanks
I didnt follow any real life engine for this design. I basicly started with
two sets of 5561. http://guide.lugnet.com/set/5561 And was able to build
most of the engine. All though the first rendintion looked more like
something out of the 50's. And slowly grew into what you see now.
Recently I made some slight changes to it mainly to open the back of the cab
and to reduce the part count a bit. I will try to take some pictures with
some better views and post a pic of the early version.

Dave
