Take a bow Gus---you deserve it for a job very well done 
I have never built a locomotive myself so I can only imagine how proud you must feel when you see something that you have created and seeing it run makes all the effort more gratifying.Just a suggestion---you may want to put a number plate over the screw on your smokebox much like the Canadian National used on their locomotives---again,great work---hopefully you'll post some pictures in the "Is there a Mike in the house" thread
