I can't wait to see how those pistons work. Lookin' forward to those

Great steamer! I've three suggestions though; a) the tender (IMO) would
look better if it were slightly elongated and if the slopeback were given a

IMO) the tender needs a backup light. c) IMO, the tender would look more
realistic with two 2-axle trucks. If you based this feature on a certain
tender design though, I'd love to see it (curiosity, not sarcasm).
Cool steamers!
