Thank you Tim, as you well know, you just keep tweaking until it looks 'right'. :p If I can be half as good an artist as you I'll be well pleased. :p

This is the Grasshopper's final version! :D

........well, as usual, it wasn't the final, or near it. But this could be:

:D

Note specular lighting effects added, although it's difficult to tell on the tender body.
I darkened the green, because it appeared too light under the light sfx. Also, the cab curtains don't appear in this shape version, but will do in the next version. This loky (268 GH) is the only version with them.

As they say in the old country, "Spot On!" I do wish you'd fix the cut levers and I noticed your bottom edge piece on the pilot is reversed. The open end of the "L" should be on the inside with the old boiler tubes inside of the L instead of on top of it. :D

Oh, yeah, save the pixels. There was no tank under the running board on the early 268.

[captain_bazza]

I think you're confusing the pixies with the pollies. Well, I could whip off the air tank and do the cut-lever setup like I did for another loky......but I'm NOT to blame for the delay, right!?
:p

Oh, BTW, I note the TOOLBOX on the leftside of the pilot, I won't stoop to saying, "I told you so!" No, never would do that.

:D

But that would indicate that the engine was in switcher service and we want road engines, right? :D

Take yer time and get er right. :p

Three of the 4 versions of C16 #268. Working on the older version number 4.
