It's a good looking model but why are the wheels on the front truck mounted backwards?

Just to simulate the size of custome wheels.

Ah this looks amazing! Nice part usage for the smoke deflectors. 8 wide British engines are beautifully detailed (same goes for your B1!)

Thanks. I really went back and forth on how to accomplish the smoke deflectors. Ultimately, it's one of those things that I think is always going to result in compromise - you can either get the shaping of the deflectors proper, and then they wind up too thick... or you can make them really thin, but the wrong shape (or, I suppose, you could use glue). I went with slender over shape, mostly out of necessity (there's not a lot of space to worth with under smokebox).

Wonderful steam locomotive!

I like the wheel arrangement of both the locomotive and the three-axle tender!
