It is indeed! It’s looking great.
I used a very similar technique for a German BR-52 locomotive. Where you
used 1-stud width of tile I used two, so my boiler came out to be 6-wide.
Based on your design it looks like you might have discovered the same thing I
did - coming up with the internal structure was a challenging (but
fulfilling, once it worked!) endeavor.

Thanks much! I think if I ever do a non-streamlined 8-wide steamer in the
future, I’ll have a hard time decided between this cheese slope technique and
the curved half arch. I like the curved half arch look better, but last I
checked they were getting pretty expensive and hard to get in mass. Plus cheese
slopes, as you have done on your excellent steamer, allow you to add more
details along the curve of the boiler.
Personally, though, what I like most about your engine is your tender. I’m not
sure why, I just really like it. Great work.
