Vool MOC for sure! I really like the cowcatcher design. I bet you are
looking forward to the new track geometry that’s supposed to be coming out
soon - that way a long engine like yours will look more prototypical when
going around larger radius curves.

The cow catcher is nice.
I’m curious how this flex track might work. I can’t see it working the same
as traditional Model RR Flex Track.
This will be interesting. Larger radius curves would truly be awesome though.

Thanks to the both of you. The cow catcher design was directly inspired by the
work of Shaun Sullivan, so the credit goes to him. I am looking forward to
seeing what LEGO comes out with, but I’ll always design my locomotives to run on
the currently available track radius. After all, I’ll only be able to run 9v
motors on it. Eventually I’ll add power function capability to the majority of
my steamers, and it won’t matter what track I use.
