Very well done.
Looks like it will fit in well.
Love the pic of the Kaiser inside.

OK, I've modified a Sarissa engine for use on my railway.  It's a pannier tank engine rather than a side tank engine, but I think it will get the job done (Hopefully without making the model railroaders cringe).



Details on the construction can be found on the blog:

Thanks!

That is beautifully done and perfectly weathered! I wouldn´t recognize a lasercut MDF model in it. However there´s few on any railroad that is less typical British looking than a Pannier engine...  :D (I am a railroading nut though...)

I know, which did give me some concern, but being in the USA I thought the odds of someone here spotting that was much less. But if those rabid Thomas the Tank Engine fans find me, I'm a dead man.  ;)

Great looking engine.
I would not  be upset if someone does not like it.
My reply is, " Lets see what you painted."
That usually does the trick. ;)
Would also like to say, I love your whole thread.
It had got me thinking about get out some long buried figures in the lead pile. lol

I finished up some of the Sarissa mdf track:



Have to say I'm not the biggest fan of this product, but it will get the job done. Details on my issues and solutions can be found on the blog:

Well done Chris! The ballast does the trick to make an otherwise boring looking track appear attractive. Good choice of colours too!

This project is really coming together. Well Done!

I'm not sure I've totally come around, but you've definitely stretched my thouhts about what can be done with MDF and vehicles.

OK, finally a bit of rolling stock:


The two wagons I built are quite nice kits and are something I can recommend to other gamers.  A couple more pics and additional info are on the blog:
