Lookin good, all those rods are just as impressive to watch as the SP 4-10-2's we have!  Your layout is something to be proud of too, nice modeling all the way around.

The second video is much better, stutters in the first video were from the recording, glad to see that long legged beauty doing the "creep" so well. Really have something going with these chassis modifications Jason, impressive, great match for those boilers.

Yes sir, very nice, and very *uniform* motion!  This is still with the original Kato motor, but with two flywheels
on the back?

Awesome.  I always like to see the proto someone is trying to capture!  Is it my eyes or is that first drive axle at a different wheelbase than the rest?  I did not notice that on the drawings at first.  Is there an engine in there?

Hi Jason -

Outstanding! Sounds good, too. I am confident you'll also be able to have a fully functioning Gresley valve gear set up for the center cylinder, right? ;-) And a "waltz time" exhaust beat for the sound system?

Right - everyone's a comedian these days...

Well done, sir!

Yes it does have a different spacing... its a 3 cylinder.  That is one of the shortcommings of my model..... The extra space is not there.  Loren made rods for for both approaches.  The kicked out first driver is beyond my capabilities at this time...Perhaps one day.  Good eye.

Thanks Loren I could not have built this engine without your Help and perfect rods!!

That is a beast!

Well, since they are picking on you for the wheel spacing, I notice that the prototype has a big counterweight on driver #3, and smaller, equal-sized ones on 4, 5, and 6, but your model has another big one on #5.  Any chance you could find another Kato driver to swap out for that one?

 :P    Heh.. heh... "Tough Room" ... where's Rodney Dangerfield when we need him.

You know we do this to you because we respect your excellent work... I hope you know that!

+1.  I wasn't trying to pick. I just noticed something I hadn't before and wondered what the extra space was for.  As for the counterweights, some .005 thick etchings could work nicely. 

Jason, don't be coy- your skills are outstanding.  I wouldn't try that front axle shift either as I think that axle is geared on the mike...

Max, you're right this is a tough crowd, not sure I'll ever post a kitbash here... :D
