For the less well educated on such things (me), can you let us know what make/model of train engine this is that you're working on?

Nice job!

The loco represents the USRA light Mikado. This was one of the standard designs of freight engine chosen by the USRA for war production. (WW1 that is.) *!!wink!!*

Many roads had these built or built there own so they were quite common before the dastardly diesels took over. *!greengrin!*

Now the tender is taking shape. Still the cab and one or two other bits to go

It is not really a UP engine. Being lazy I am modifying the texture files from the UP switcher!!!!! !*roll-laugh*!

PS any suggested road names??? I want to make the number and road name editable also their basic position on the tender and/or cab
