Looks great so far! Question, when you get to the heavy version of the model will it be possible for you to make a semi streamlined variation such as the 4-8-2's that CN owned? Such as CN 6060 pictured below:

Another teaser!!! !*YAAA*!

Almost there!!! Three models of the 4-8-2. This is No3 with Elesco water heater and double compressors on the smokebox front.

I will do the heavy version next, then I can use the boiler for the light 2-10-2. After I have gone back to the switchers and possibly the Shays

Have always loved the look of the compressors and condensers mounted on the smokebox and front pilot.

Looking great and you certainly didnt hang about...

Money is sitting here with your name on it, burning a hole in my pocket,.

(good news too on the Shay upgrades too !!*ok*!! )

!*cheers*!
