Hi all,
Shortly after I made my Mallard Teunis Davey contacted me asking if I wanted
to have a go at making a
NSW Class 38. I did and this is what came out. The train is based on a
modified version of the wheelset I used for the Mallard with only cosmetic
changes. Lots of thanks to Teuis for ideas and suggestions along the way.

Please let me know what you think and any improvements I could make. MPD
available on request.

Nice to see you doing steam, one day you will do one without the fancy
streamlining to show the greeble underneath ;-)
The loco looks good, but I feel the streamlinedness is a bit understated, I’m
sure you thought of it but I think a cone would be better for the smokebox
front. I like the 1 high panels along the running plates, simple but represent
the prototype well. Strangely it looks quite Russian to me.
However I think if you are going to use BBB wheels you should use them to their
full potential, with coupling rods at a minimum and connecting and piston rods
as well really.
