Thank you. There wasn't a pattern as such because it's a scratch built model. I made my own plans from measurements taken from the real locomotive. I don't think there are any models like this available, that's why i had to scratch build her. Once again thanks and glad you like the loco

I don't build locomotives, but I enjoy reading about others' modeling efforts. The one thing we should not have to worry over is apologizing for showing something not made entirely from paper.

If one is not interested, just push a different button.

But, in your defense, paper is just another form of wood. So, you win on both counts!

I'm with you 100% on that CD, thanks friend

Wow! I've never seen matchstick models other than bridges, and occasional people for dioramas.

Thanks guys. There was no special software or the like, just old fashioned visiting the real loco with a tape measure and my own drawings made with the information i collected along the way and templates {which i wish i'd still got} made the same way. I made this long before i got into paper models, but if i'd known it would be something other people liked too, i would have kept the templates to share.

How about these Peter?

Great looking model, Pete, as always. Top Drawer! (Now that you know it's a compliment!)

As I understand it matchsticks are made of wood which (so they say) is unconstructed paper.

Your model is wonderful.
