Wow. lots to like there.
My fave items are that you buried the power truck in the pilot skirting,
that the side skirts are slanted down, and that you mananged connecting
rods, although the lack of a main rod is a shame. (But understandable!)
Your backhead detail is nice too, as is the (steam?) pipe along the upper
side of the boiler jacketing. These sorts of small details really bring a
model to life.
Man that's a lot of blue arches!
I gotta get me some of those big wheels and flange add ons. Why did you make
the rear drivers blind (flangeless) instead of the center ones, which would
be more prototypical...
I thought the tender seemed a bit of an afterthought, though. And what was
up with the yellow and red on the cab windows, is that prototypical?
Is this even doable in 6 wide? One could hope.
VERY nice work, thanks for sharing!
