I've joined this forum just to comment on this thread, and maybe start one of my own.

I am far from as skilled as you are, but have starting hacking on an Aristocraft 0-4-0, myself, and found your thread while searching for prototype resources.

Your build is stunning, and even more so in the smaller scale than my own! You make me wish I had more skill and more resources.

I have since made the grey much darker, and will post another update after I highlight some of the other details. I will not be doing plumbing like you did, I haven't the skill or resources to do that, and besides I already started painting..

I do not wish to hijack your thread, so am going to start one of my own on this loco. Here's a LINK if you're interested.
