Well, there should be no problem as far as I know. And even if there would, it would be an easy fix (like attaching a pin on the other side of the clip-bar)

Which terms? Making it work? Well I'd have to try it out in real life to find it out, I can't say it now without testing
How to make this stuff? Well I can give you some advice:
- try to work with a picture of the real thing so you can compare the whole time if it looks right
- try to keep the proportion of the thing you want to model in order to make it look right
-have a look at small details

Hope this helps

Yeah, the chassis of my engines is pretty much the same as yours! Regarding the boiler I first decide how big the boiler is - either I use the round bricks like I used on Percy's smokebox or I snot the boiler using curved pieces. It really depends on the model I'm building.

Yep, I updated that one. The old model had some gaps which made the "6" look bad. If you take a look at the group picture, you can see it Also now you have a close-up

Thanks! I'd like the stripes to be thinner, but that isn't possible with a boiler having that kind of shape

Yeah, it's not very much. I know I could advertise it a little bit more, but a model like this sadly probably hasn't much potential, as it isn't known worldwide. From a realistic point of view this model won't gonna make it. But still it was my first project. I gained some experience, and I'm happy with how far it already got, for being my first project I have two more ideas, that might be more thought-through. One having to do with railways (and more importantly it is known in many countries), and the other something else They are both at a very very very early stage, so it might take me longer than a year till they're published.

Also I haven't uploaded any pictures of my 14xx project here, so I didn't really promote it here. The reason was, that I didn't want people that my account is a one-off, which after some time doesn't have anything to show. Before you publish something like a Lego Ideas project you have to have some fan-base, which I didn't have. Also the "fan-base" I have now isn't big enough for anything like that.

well theres still alot of time left and im sure other people like me have given it some advertising - theres a chance.
hit 1000 and you get recognised by Lego's team.

looking forward to seeing those ideas when they arrive at the station.
