I am very happy with how this turned out.

You really did do a terrific job capturing the features of this locomotive, particularly the nose and trailing truck. Compared to other streamlined steamers, I find this one not to my liking but a great model nonetheless.

Great job and nice part use for the nose!

looks great to bad it would be pricy to build in real bricks because of all of the silver parts, Unless a can of spray paint doesn't phase you.

Pretty sure you'd wind up having to chrome just about all the silver parts.

Thanks. I have a third 4-6-4 that will be finished tonight.

Incredible design that captures the actual loco! Looking forward to seeing the final model in bricks.

I dislike steam, but by golly, if this were a TLG kit I'd buy it.  Fantastic job; you should be extremely proud of this design.  It'd be great to see it in real bricks sometime.

That's a great build on a very tricky prototype. Interestingly enough, the tender shrouding was designed to be a faux Budd car and blend smoothly with the rest of the train (but the cars were never placed in service and instead were sold off to other railroads)
