That's a cool looking engine, Ben!  Thanks for sharing.

All this talk of modules and standards inspired me to actually build • something.

It's a Baltimore and Ohio Royal Blue 2-6-2 steam engine circa, late 1930s • early
1940s.  Not sure if the wheel arrangement is correct since the leading and
trailing truck wern't that clear in the picture I was working off of.

I really wish they made the four stud hemisphere piece in blue, but for • now, I
have to use the conical piece which makes the nose a little to pointed.

Other things of interest include stud down construction on the leading • truck.
It was the only way I could figure out how to securely mount the blue • chairs as
skirting.  This section of skirting would normally cover the steam • cylinders.

The middle(front to back) and front detailing are pretty much all stud • forward
construction.  The section above that is pretty straight forward stud up
construction.

Comments welcome and appreciated.
