Revised Ivatt Atlantic

Now I gave my Atlantic the "scale-drawing-treatment".

 

At first I actually only wanted to change the tender as I had problems in curves with the 3D-printed wheels I wanted to use. That made me use a scale drawing for the whole engine and this came out. It still looks a bit wrong because the correct wheels would be something at the size of XXL wheels. The leading wheels are placeholders for medium small sized wheels.

 

I always knew that my old design was a bit short, but I was shocked when I saw how long the new design really is! It seems huge, but in reality this is how big it should be, I really should've questioned the old design earlier.

 

Did place the new design next to my other most realistic engines to see how she compares (the A4 mostly being a Bricktrix design though)

 

Seems like this engine will be a wip for longer than I thought.

 

( wes_turngrate actually mentioned thte "stumpyness" of the old design, but I just didn't want to listen. I found out what was wrong - the wheels were too small, the new XXL wheels also lengthen the whole design and the frame for the trailing wheel was too short as well)
