Very nice Tony.
lots of subtle details to enjoy, I only discovered when looking at the large
image on flickr.
The little scoop/cowcatcher under the front coupler. The side skirting on
the trailing truck.
And as already mentioned the striping/skirting on the tender. I especially
like the short single short stripe carried over to the engine - it provides a
very nice transition.
And of course, the rounded curves on the front end.
Excellent job on yet another great train.

Thanks much! I ordered the wheels from you so very long ago, I began to think
I’d have to use them for something else. I wish I could take credit for the
yellow pinstripe below the cab door, but that’s part of the prototype, but I
agree it really does add a lot. It actually took several attempts to get it in
there and keep the design the way I wanted it.
Speaking of wheels, earlier in the day before I shot the photos of the T1 I took
a full steam roster shot of my steam engine MOCs.
Truly a monument to Big Ben Bricks and capitalist excess. :)
(42 small wheels, 10 medium blind drivers, 12 medium flanged drivers, 26 blind
flanged drivers, 32 large flanged drivers)
