OH! You just posted this!
It looks good! The only thing that should be changed is that the "High Pressure" cylender (the small one) is too small. If you make it bigger in diameter and the Low Pressure cylender a little bit smaller it will look more proportional.
Other than that it looks like a fantastic design!

Thanks! And do you mean the actual size, or the drawing?

No, just the high pressure cylender. It looks too small compared to the rest of the loco. If you increase its diameter it will look better.
