Think I would be better off doing an 0-8-0t, 2-8-0t or 0-8-2t with the MDC kit? Just picked one up for $35!

The 0-8-0 is what I'm going for. I have a total of three of those MDC kits. I still want to snag one more sometime to make it into a 2-4-4-2T.

Message me if you need the instructions on how to make a 2-4-4-2t I have a copy of them sitting around!

You bet they'd be interesting to see! But your design looks amazing!! It's that kind of engine that just looks good pulling anything! When you finish the bash Be sure to show the end result when it's done!!!

Oh I will, I can still work on some external things. Mostly details like piping, air pump, and paint work. The bulk of the remaining work is finding a set of gears and a motor.

I was going to say, it strongly resembles that old MDC "Battle Creek" kit, and voila. I'd be nice if Athearn's Roundhouse division had the gumption to produce a DCC/Sound version of this non-op kit.
As for the drawing, strong linework. Seems like something you should send to Narrow Gauge & Shortline Gazette and see if they'd publish it, I'd bet they would.

Is there a way to add all of your steam locomotives to my favorites?

Well I'm glad you like it! I'm working on an 0-4-4-0t version of it as well. XD

well unless they are continuously pelted by stones, they wouldnt look like that unless they came from the foundry that way. (or had been rusted ALOT, cleaned, but were pitted)

It's based on an old HOn3 scale MDC kit, sadly no longer in production and hard to find. The loco is not based on any real life prototype.

Well I have another one I want to draw. It looks almost identical to this 'un here, only it's a 0-4-4-0.
