Well, here she is folks. The Rose in her final form. Sure there is a little QA that needs to happen, but here she is.

There's a few blobs and bits to attend to with the coal fired version, but that will go by fast. Of course it's also high time I triple check my work, but here's the first locomotive of the series, done.

That leaves me with…

-Mollyette
-Myrtle
-Steam Mouse

1 Gauge

-Chingford Express
-Daisy Drummond
-Dyakette

-Talula
-Lucy Anna (also in 0 gauge)
-Speedyette (also in 1 gauge)

3.5" Gauge
-Dairy Maid (also in 2.5” gauge)
-Duchess of Swindon
-Ivy Hall
-Sister Dora
-Zoe (also in 1 gauge)

5" Gauge

The bold faced designs are the ones that I either have the article series for or a great deal of the article series for. A fair number of these designs also fall into the "easy" or "toy" category. If I am aloud to purchase photocopies of the article series (or magazines from anyone willing to sell them) that would greatly speed things along.

Now that the Rose is scratched off the list basically, it's time for the Pixie. Why? Lots of shared parts with the Rose.

I guarantee this one will go by quickly. I hope that I can purchase some photocopies from the folks at the National 2.5" Gauge Association, the Bass and the Zoe are the two I am really excited to get done!

Literally this took me 45 minutes at the most? The wheels are loosely based off of the Ancient Lights wheels- the ones I'm drawing, at least. The discs are just slugs of sort.

I said masochist not sadistic!
Kidding, I have considered trying that one, but I would rather try that after I figured out how to animate the Walschaerts/Stephensons/Baker valve gears.

Richard,
The Rainhill is one of my favorite locomotives that Curly did (I have a soft spot for early locomotives) however, there is one key difference between it and the ones that are on the list. The ones that made my list are models that I have not been able to find the drawings for and have been lost to the wilds if you will- and keeping them from being lost entirely.

Regards,
-Dean

Oh,

So I did get bored and dicker about a bit with the Steam Mouse 2-2-0+0-2-2 Garrett.
I think I might have a soft spot for these mammoths since:
A. My grandfather was a controller for the Portuguese railways in Mozambique (big shocker, I'm half Portuguese, I had more facial hair than most American men by the time I was 12)
B. A good friend of mine actually went to Zimbabwe to photograph them and I found myself more interested in these mammoths.
C. Because- no reason. Just because.

This little guy is going to require some serious dimension work from the magazine drawings to pull off right, and would say is a PRIME candidate for a boiler like the Cracker, since it has basically a trough underneath it for some spirit burners.

One other note: I did add cleading to the boiler on the Rose.
It just looks wrong with out it.

I decided to toy around with the Steam Mouse a bit. Mostly because I have a large share of it done. There are a few issues I encountered but otherwise it's going smoothly.

Well… I didn't expect this, but I could very well have the Steam Mouse done this weekend.
I had every intent of doing the Pixie first, but I think that I goofed a little and will end up having the Mouse done before hand.
