Description
Remember when I said this could take a while, Kota? I’m a man of my word.This is a little logging engine designed by Kota in Lego form— he asked me to draw it as a real-life engine. Which I’ve tried to do! (In my own weird style, of course...)
I did take some minor artistic liberties with the paint scheme, but I didn’t think you’d mind too much. (It was just begging for a number stenciled on the side...) Most of this is as literal a translation of your engine as I could make it! (I went with a rather European style, I think...)
Hope you approve.

I don't know why but outside-framers always look like they could move a mountain, no matter what size they are!

Must be the extra bulky look-- like a set of big wide shoulders.

Actually, I'd say it has a rather "Spegetti Western" kinda look!
You know, Like how Hollywood will "Dress" an engine to look period appropriate. And honestly, I'm tempted to make a model of theis engine! Albeit it would be more American it terms of pilots and couplings.

Hehehehe, perhaps so! If you want to make a model, though, be sure to ask first, because he designed the original.

Atticus, you've made me very happy. It turned out even better than I could have ever imagined. Thanks a ton, mate.

I'm also thinking about naming the railway. How does the "Knothole Railway" sound?

Ha, and I thought I was drawing something that wouldn't work! (I decided to add an outside valve gear very last minute and needed something simple, so I based it roughly on something I think I've seen on a British engine.) I have no idea how it would work without an eccentric. XD
Anyway, thanks!

oh yeah, crosshead driven overcranks work, they are just awkward and not very efficient.

The wheel pattern is interesting to me. I might try to make it in Lego form now.

Blehehe, well, it'll work well with Lego parts, methinks.
