Nice. The new engine doesn't seem to have at much detail on it as the first model.

I believe that this is a case of less is more. The old loco used a lady Anne smokebox with the rivet detailing that it has. However, the real loco had welded smokeboxes, with no rivets, therefore there shouldn't be rivet detailing on the smokebox. Personally I think it looks better for it. My guess is there have been other changes to make it more prototypical.Matt wrote:Nice. The new engine doesn't seem to have at much detail on it as the first model.

I don't like the spoked wheels personally, I think they're prototypical but they look too thin.
