Western Maryland J-1 Potomac

[Craig Strader]

I know it has been a while since I posted on this site so my first, the Z-6 challenger link to it will be posted here for those who forgot about it. But I also came across another steam locomotive that struck my interest, enough actually for me to recreate in Lego. Thus, without further delay. I give your my take of the Western Maryland's exclusive 4-8-4 "Potomacs". Just to note. It is 10 studs wide and is one of my earlier builds, therefore it is an older design with PIVOT bogies, not the bogies I use on the Z-6.

Let me know what you think of them.

Needs readjusting

That Potomac link does not work, nor will the text-link that you pasted, as it refers to a file on your personal computer. You will need to upload the picture to an image hosting service like Flickr and then embed or share the link here.

Here is a crude example of it. Sorry. But this is all I can squeeze in for now

Do you know another way that I can post images BESIDES Flickr. I tried it before and it doesn't work

No personal connection, but I've always used Bricksafe (https://bricksafe.com/) and find it very easy to upload photos and copy the URL for the size of image you want.

It also looks like you're trying to share screenshots from LDD. To get neater images, I would recommend either using a rendering software such as Stud.io, or taking a screenshot in LDD itself using ctrl+k; make sure to turn on "brick outlines" on the preferences menu first, it makes black models so much easier to see.

I look forward to seeing your model!
