Hello Everyone

  I would like to share some photos of a locomotive I built a few years ago originally for the Flickr Lego Trains MOC's 2-4-0 competition, since then the locomotive has gone through a number of progressive rebuilds to the state she is in today, the design is a freelanced build and is inspired by a number of designs used by a variety of German railways from around the 1880s, the main influence is from the Saxon IIIB http://www.worldrail.../Saxon/IIIb.jpg and the Wurttemberg AC http://www.worldrail...ttemberg/Ac.jpg class locomotives.

Here is the Backstory about the locomotive

Built in 1885 the 19 Class was the last 2-4-0 type to be built for the Kaiserlich Legodtenstein Staatsbahnen, a total of 8 were built of which 194 is the last example left. The class were used on express services till 1904 with the introduction of the 85 Class 4-4-2 Atlantics, from then on they were employed as a mixed traffic loco on branchline services until the 1950s when the scrapping of the steam fleet began.

Very nice steamer ''Steinkopf'. I really like it's small size and color choice. Will you be adding carriages or other rolling stock?

Another machine of AWESOMENESS from you 'Steinkopf', please keep them coming.

Very nice MOC Steinkopf! Very inspiring!  
I like the way you have used the blind wheels and how the small front wheels work without interfering with the pistons movement!

Nicely done.  There's some great techniques on her, and I there's nothing bad I can say about the color choice.  :)

Thanks Tony I know you always have a soft spot for Green and Black livery just like that of the TSR   , I still have to get you to build a small boilered loco using half cylinders one of these days   .

Nice steamer with beautiful colors!

Nice little steamer you have got there!

nice loco!

though i would fill in that gap between the wheel frame and the boiler. steam trains are supposed to be solid.

Eventually I would like to fit some detail in that area but I would still like to have a decent amount of daylight under the boiler, there are quite a number of classes from the late 1800s till the end of steam that featured a fair bit of daylight under the boiler including the Midland 4MT 0-6-0, NZR Q Class 4-6-2 and the BR 9F 2-10-0.

[SavaTheAggie]

Plenty of steam engines had daylight under their boilers.  I'm only now revisiting old MOCs and adding, or I suppose more accurately taking away, such detail.  Check out the amount of daylight visible on this steamer I found at the Galveston Railroad Museum:

Or this one - from first hand experience - a lot of sky tree are visible through the chasis.
