That is one sweet looking loco. :-) I happen to be a fan of the jagged

It really puts it in scale.
I love the little details. The gold 1x1 rounds for the bell. The guy
hanging onto the tender. Things like that really add to the experience for
me. Nice work on this one.

The boiler design has its advantages and disadvantages. It gives plenty of
opportunity to add all the bells and whistles (pun intended) that American steam
locomotives had hanging on them. But it does get a little jaggy. Definitely a
matter of preference.
My locomotives keep growing. At this rate I’ll soon be joining John Neal in his
12 wide madness. :)
Thank You
