Dear Ben,

thanks for your nice replay. And I agrre: the 7750 wheel sets are really a pain
to get via Bricklink and all other market places. I own a few of them but never
enough... And the price aims only at one direction: always up.

I fear that is the case :(

Fortunately my interests lie mostly in diesels and electrics so my steam will
remain virtual.

There is a "structure" above the horizontal red bar in the very front (next to
one of the two stairways which lead up to the boiler). It is visible above the
small red wheel in the front of this engine (the length of it is similar to the
diameter of the boiler: so it might be important to be modelled into the LEGO
design - at least I love structures which break the symmetry):

I think this could be a boiler feeding pump or a generator for electricity? Last
guess: air compressor for break?

It is so obvious now that I know it's there. I will definitely add it in the
updated version. I already have a design for the stairs which I think looks much
better.

Thanks again for your advice.

Tim
