Description
Some know her as "Tillie", others know her as the Little Blue Engine, I like to call her Little Engine, but regardless, she's The Little Engine That Could.

Since I've started working on these engine profiles, I've wanted to make one of Little Engine, and I've finally done so. She's based on the Central Pacific's No. 3 (now Southern Pacific's No. 1) C.P. Huntington.

Shortly after completing this profile, I discovered that I had accidentally scaled her to fit on broad gauge rails instead of standard gauge rail. This was because I had started to work on the profile for a broad gauge locomotive but forgot to switch the layers from broad gauge back to standard gauge on my template. As a result it affected four of my projects. Fortunately three of them were still in the preliminary stages so I can easily correct them. Little Engine, however, had the misfortune of being entirely affected by this situation as I did not discover the issue until after I had completed it. She has since been scaled down to the correct gauge but as a result her outline thickness doesn't match with the rest of the characters. I will have to remedy that in the future.
