Just finished the L1 mikado, what do you guys think?
I think you did a great job. Did you leave it DC or did you go with DCC?

I think you did very well, certainly better than I would have done. Congratulations, it looks great!

VERY nice job! I"ve always liked those Pennsy Mikes, and that one looks excellent. And if it's a typical Bowser, it will probably pull the paint off the walls, LOL!
Good-looking locomotive.

NICE!
Excellent job! I can see from the cast on detail that it's an older one, but you really made it look as good as something brand new! How's that Helix Humper drive working out in there?

Thanks guys. It was a lot of fun to put together. To answer some of your questions. It is DC for now, and the Helix Humper works pretty good.
Very nice. Excellent paint, in particular the graphited smoke box looks very good. That locomotive will look just fine on the head end of any kind of freight train.
