Streamlined 4-8-2 "Mountain" steam locomotive - front

A good friend of mine inspired me to build this loco after showing me a hover train from a TV show he watches. I changed it to red and then ran with the idea from futuristic hover mono-rail to 1930's streamlined 4-6-2 Pacific - type steam loco, which was later changed to be a Mountain - type by adding another set of driving wheels.

 

After making it into a 4-8-2, I decided it was too similar to my brown 4-8-2 non-streamlined loco, so I was faced with a choice:

A) smash the two engines together an create one where once were two,

OR

B) backdate the loco to a Pacific and built it in red as originally planned.

 

I chose option A, and thus color swapped the loco to reddish brown with black stripes plus I added the tender of the other 4-8-2 loco.
