New Boiler Design: Flying Scotsman LNER A3

Many times I wanted a boiler that is bigger than the common 4 wide round Lego plates, but not as wide as the Emerald Night style 6 wide boiler, while still keeping the roundness. Just recently when playing with Carl Greatrix's A4 on LDD I realized how to make such a boiler. So the closest thing was to rebuild his A4 into an A3, as the only difference is the boiler. From what you see in the picture I only designed the boiler and footplate, the rest (chassis, valve gear, cab and tender) is Carl's design.

 

I hope this design proves to be useful in the future for other people too, as it really looks good in my eyes.
