Description I wonder why it is lately that none of my drawings seem to fit my railroads, so I end up halfheartedly slapping one of them on it? (Or in this case an old concept.)

Anyway this started out as an 0-6-2T, but then I decided to extend the pilot for a lead truck and make it a more modern style, and also to extend the smokebox.

Bahhhh epic win! XD it reminds me of a war-time engine somehow... maybe the shape of the tanks reminds me of a USATC 0-6-0. Or maybe the wheel arrangement seems suitable for a trench engine. Or maybe I’m nuts.

I love the huge brace under the cab to the rear beam and the way the bunker resembles a tender tank with the beveled frill at the top. Even the leaf springs look awesome. And the tiny wheels.

The cab roof overhang-with-cutout seems to be something of a defining trait of your works...

I was thinking of those after it was done. I imagined some really epic loco before I added the lead truck, but honestly I can't say it turned out exactly how I wanted it.

Yeah, not sure what the point of the roof like that is but I like doing it XD
