Nice to see you doing steam, one day you will do one without the fancy streamlining to show the greeble underneath ;-)

My L Class wasn’t streamlined :P

The loco looks good, but I feel the streamlinedness is a bit understated, I’m sure you thought of it but I think a cone would be better for the smokebox front. I like the 1 high panels along the running plates, simple but represent the prototype well. Strangely it looks quite Russian to me.

I think the cone would be too pointy. The peak is surpringly blunt for a streamliner. I know what you mean about looking Russian. I think it might be the comparatively large boiler... and the fact that I reused a lot of tricks from my L class to make it ;)

However I think if you are going to use BBB wheels you should use them to their full potential, with coupling rods at a minimum and connecting and piston rods as well really.

I agree but I felt that the studless technic wouldn’t do it justice and as you pointed out before the flex parts haven’t been CADded (not to mention I don’t have a clue how they work). I might pinch someone elses work (such as yours) if they’re willing to show me how it’s done.

Franco-Crosti boilered loco next :-P

Hmmmm. That looks more up yours or Ben Beneke’s alley than mine ;)
