Excellent work.

beautiful job!

very good i like it g.r

WOW! Great job.

Upon first glance the model appears to be a prototype. It took a few moments to realize the loco is a model. Great work.

Great. Hope I can do something like that making an early 60s D&H loco. Really impressive and wonderful sound.

Looks so real u only need to add smoke now…

very impressive work.wish i was that good.

Wow !

Love the grime,the dirt,rust and leaking oil.A large plume of
black(ozone unfriendly) smoke and it could have been real! Bet it smells right too!!

Just amazing! Looks and runs fantastic. I’ve seen a lot of great model railroads spoiled by poorly running locomotives. Yours performs like it weighs tons not ounces. The best weathering I have ever seen. Very well done!

Just watched this for the 1st time today. I expected to see a big cloud of black exhaust smoke when it started up. Great modelling!

really liked the detail great job

Great weathering and attention to details, especially the way the front hand rails were weathered with the white paint showing through the dirt and grime. Sounds right also.

Five star model.

All it needs is some smoke and it would be absolutely perfect.

Wish you would do an article or video on how and what you did. Also where you acquired the detail parts. One of the best jobs i`ve seen for a typical yard switcher.
