I finally finished my first steam locomotive! Yippee!!! Seriously though,
after about 2 months of design and redesign, I finally finished my first
good steam locomotive:

Some special features of note are:
-Drivers are wired to the motor so that they spin in sync with the speed of
the loco (don't know if I'm the first to do that, but I thought it up on own).
-Constant voltage headlight. Switch is hidden in the top of the firebox.
-Detailed backhead (Missing a reverse valve, to be added soon).
-Cab windows have clear panels for glass.
Also check out versions 1 and 2.

p.s. Drive rods are half black by lack of parts, not design. Same things
with the drivers.

| (...) This is one nice creation. Nice SNOT work in the cab. This is just a start of what I am sure we will continue to see from you. -Jason +---...---+ Jason Spears MichLUG - (URL) Page - (URL) (22 years ago, 9-Sep-02, to lugnet.trains)

| (...) Stefan, That looks good. I just noticed the 1x2 plate with railing on top(name anyone?) as steps on the front of the engine. From the side it gives a nice angle, and from the front you see the steps, very nice. Chris (22 years ago, 9-Sep-02, to lugnet.trains)
