Reading B4a class 0-6-0T Steam Switcher #1251

I just wanted to add a ‘me too’ to your steamer. I really can’t add anything
that hasn’t already been said or addressed. I agree that the tank shroud
around the boiler could be more smooth, but the aforementioned cheese slope
additions should go very far towards that. I really admire the attention to
detail you’ve put into it, I don’t usually go so far, myself.
I’ve never seriously considered building a tank engine, mainly because all of
my designs rely on the tender to provide a place to mount the motor, and I
really don’t like the idea of a powered piece of rolling stock (since it
basically means it’s now a dedicated tender with little use away from the
engine). Maybe the new train system will solve that for me.
Anyway, great job, and great use of the new BBB wheels.

Thanks
Since #1251 spent most of its time moving other locomotives around the Reading
shops it doesn’t look to far out of place when being shoved by another powered
loco.
Here is a pic with the updated tank.
