Lego Saddle Tank Engine - small

Another Lego 'Saddle Tank' locomotive of my own design, this time a little 0-4-0 that draws inspiration from the locomotive Sir Cecil A. Cochrane (pictured).

This time around my main objective was to incorporate cylinder cocks into the design, but since I was also adamant about creating a smaller-sized locomotive this turned out to be incredibly frustrating as I had a narrow area to work with. I actually cheated a bit; the wheels aren't official Lego wheels but an invention of custom parts manufacturer Big Ben Bricks.

I also realise now that a few pieces were missing from the front of the cab when I took these photos. No idea how that slipped by me!

This as-yet-unnamed engine is number 3 on my as-yet-unbuilt Lego railway layout. Number 1 and 2 can be seen here:
