:hi: Peter,
That sounds very interesting. Do you know who originally designed the Loco?
Early Loco plans rarely provided much (any) detail into the bodywork leaving it up to the builder to decide how much detail they wish to add.

Hi Peter, welcome to the forum. You will find many like minded friendly folk here.
I do hope that you will start a build log of the completion of the engine so we can follow your journey.

Hi Peter, regarding uploading pictures, it helps if we know what operating you are using. On Apple iPad, I find that if I use the attachment button under the text editing, Apple gives me the option of small, medium or large with the respective file sizes.
The forum limit is 1 Mb per attachment, but in practice around 200 kB is quite satisfactory, and so preferred. So select the appropriate size and select “use”.
If you are using Windows, you need to resize the pictures to about the same size range.
There are methods using external hosting that many members prefer in order to insert photos in the text, and you will get to know how to use these as you get more familiar with how the forum operates.
Hope this helps,
MJM460
