I also attempted to make a 6-axle non-powered SD-9 a few years ago, and I'm revisiting this model and giving it new details like a horn and clear windows(They were just black 1x4's).
Nice one Rok, I'm considering having a go at making an A4 steamer if I can get hold of enough of the right type and colour of brick. Should be possible, but one thing I need to locate are some decent wheels like used on the Emerald Express.
What I did find (and buy) the other day was this set by Ausini, after the other one I bought I'm more than happy to get others by this maker. But this one I jumped at as it is basically a Santa Fe (no idea of the number etc... as I'm not that into American Outline) but at a much cheaper price than the old genuine Lego version
Happily collecting things all my life...
