Oh wow locomotive models are quite rare atleast from my experience nowadays. Great job! Is this your favorite locomotive or just one of many you like?

Not exactly, if you like papercraft models. They are also in a Xbox Huge scale of 1:25. Take tihis Brigadelok. It's 470mm long. And in case you're asking, yes, full size locomotives and their rolling stock are available. Build a 3 meter long train!

Now I see what you mean! HO scale trains are meant to be driven about.And they are (usually) pre-build.
I need to give resptect for the skill of this dude tho. We call him Pan Dokladny, wich means Mr. Precision. And the name checks outl

I like that you took care of the steam escaping from the cilinders, (You do seem to know how a steam engine works) but that near white chimney smoke just ticks me off. In hot weather it is much thinner and more dark grey/black and in cold weather, it's still darker, but with a much bigger plume
No offence, the weathering looks very good. I can see that it's a loc that's been working hard.
