Very nice work. I had not seen that. Thanks for linking the pics. It definitely helps show the details of the PRR T1, and gives me more ideas for improvements to my Lego® version once I go to build it.

Per above, I have added a bit more detailing to my LDD model. I added side steps and rails to the cab’s side “doors”. I extended the tender and added an access ladder and some marklights on the back... I would ideally use 1X3 smooth curves on the top of the cab, but they’re not in LDD...

I’m still trying to re-work the cow-catcher; I decided to add the piston housings for the front drive-wheel pair on outside (eventhough under the shroud in reality) and add a PRR front-plate. There is no 1x1 red flat plate in LDD, so still deciding how to handle. Also removed the rungs hanging down the sides of the catcher shroud as I wanted to smooth out the top with flat plates.

...at this point, I think I’m ready to build this in reality...
