It is the European locomotive classification system. For example, Bn2t means B:two powered axles, n:narrowgage, 2:two meter narrow gage, t:tank locomotive (no tender).

Signs explanation Xnxt
"X" - Number of drive axles; B - 2 C - 3 D - 4 "n" - saturated steam powered (Naßdampf) ; "x" - number of cylinders; "t" - steam lokomotive without tender (water tanks on two sides of locomotive) ; Bn2t is the type of N Gauge steam locomotive without tender of the B-axis (0-2-0) system, with twin two-cylinder engine powered by saturated steam. Produced by August Borsig Berlin-Tegel Factory in Berlin during 1924-1925 Cn2t is the type of N Gauge steam locomotive without tender of the C-axis (0-3-0) system, with twin two-cylinder engine powered by saturated steam. Example Cn2t Las It's a 3 axle polish version of german "Riesa" produced during 1947-48 in Fabryka Lokomotyw im. Feliksa Dzierżyńskiego in Chrzanow. Dn2 is the type of N Gauge steam locomotive without tender of the D -axis (0-4-0) system. Example austrian kkStB 73 |

As you can see it's been a while since I posted about this project. Despite what you might think ; I have not abandoned the built, but I have been too busy with other things.
Recently I started a basic course on 3D designing, and as a matter of fact, I have been using this very model to tinker with designing in Tinkercad. Here you can see what I have so far, and if you have access to a 3D printer, you can even download the parts Cn2t Kettle+tanks kit by DanCooper - Thingiverse

Do you use rolled paper for those long tubes or do you use wire?
Thanks otherDoc |

Don't worry... Lassy is not dead yet... she may have been asleep for a long time, but since I've restarted paper modelling with the Central Pacific n°60 Jupiter, I am confident that she will soon be taken care of ...
