Hey Ken, that RR tender looks awfully familiar! 
I never thought they'd match. Nice masking job.

Good looking locomotives Ken. That 0-8-0 reminds me a lot of a Southern Pacific SE-4. Nice choice of tender too.

Ken,
That's a freight/yard pilot with foot boards.....One, I myself need more of and thought maybe I could trade off a few of my "road" cow catcher "pointed" pilots!
Sorry I can't be of more help on that one!

Ken . It is right for the Superintendent of The Catford Branch, to set the style and standard for the Branch he is in charge of. It is not a competition, but just the way you want it to be. I'm certain whatever you do will look great.
Have a great Day.

Ken,
That's AWESOME the Family Coat of Arms would be a good one. without ANY of the black, and maybe the "red" replaced with the "maroon" you used on the locomotives?
Good idea tho!
