Hi all,
Shortly after I made my Mallard Teunis Davey contacted me asking if I wanted
to have a go at making a
NSW Class 38. I did and this is what came out. The train is based on a
modified version of the wheelset I used for the Mallard with only cosmetic
changes. Lots of thanks to Teuis for ideas and suggestions along the way.

Please let me know what you think and any improvements I could make. MPD
available on request.

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

As per usual I forgot to say half I wanted to so...
I also like the greebling on the front footplate below the boiler and use of the
Technic Beam 2 with Two Antistuds’
(32530) in the cylinders, coincidentally I was thinking of using that part (in
a different manner) in cylinders just last night.
I have mixed views on the use of curved bricks for boilers, I’m not convinced
they look any better than slope bricks, however of those two choices you picked
the one which gives a greater impression of bulk which is appropriate for the
proto.

PS Can somone else post a MOC, I was updating the sidebar and realised that if I
cut it down to the last three MOCs is would just be the lugnet.timgould sidebar!
