All this talk of modules and standards inspired me to actually build something. (URL) a Baltimore and Ohio Royal Blue 2-6-2 steam engine circa, late 1930s early 1940s.

Ben, It looks nice. It looks like you are using rounded off "FreeStyle" 2x3 bricks [1] on the cab and on the tender. I have been looking for those. I have only found one FreeStyle set that has them in blue, and that $20 set only has two of them. (...) (24 years ago, 24-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)
