[MOC] [Stud.io] 4-6-2 Red Earl

[Darkkostas25]

Took some ideas from recent Orient express but made it longer, thinner. And took idea with front boogies from recent Hogwarts Express and Lego's big trains wheels don`t look so small

Nicely done. The locomotive and tender both look good. I will admit I'm not a fan of the two yellow bands on the boiler. They stick out too much for my taste. Can it be motorized easily?

Nice work, the colors kind of look like Sava's Texas State Ry museum loco

Easy - maybe not, will need some kind of redesigns. I don't know a proper way for motorization :C what Lego`s engines could be helpful in this case to be honest + i use part list from recent bricklink designer program (always wanted to participate but always late :D )

I think the design is quite visually improved with the removal of the bands around the boiler. Nice addition of the old Medium motor as well.
