If you choose a steam loco for your project and would like a a commercial kit for reference, let me know (via PM), I'll lend you one until you can get it back to me at the convention....

If a steam train is a favored possibility, what engine would it be? Throw out a few that we can kook at

Guess it depends on how big of a project you want to tackle. If you want a really large project, then this:
Southern Pacific 4294 - Wikipedia Or you could do a Shay engine: Shay locomotive - Wikipedia I don't have any examples of paper shay models to share though.... Greg

I was thinking a geared Shay could be interesting too. Might include worm gears, how to make those in paper I wonder?

both of those trains look cool. the southern pacific looks like it as two sets of powered wheels. The shay, I've never seen a configuration like that in a steam train. Very unique.

That SP cab forward is articulated, saw it years ago in the Sacramento Railroad Museum.

There is less than 1 week until a model is decoded on. Are there any other vehicle ideas to be thrown in the pool?

Another challenge, if you want some curves, could be either the Pennsylvania Railroad's GG1 or T1
