About CNWR 0-4-2 Narrow Gauge Mixed-Traffic Engine by Ashe S.
This engine is an imaginary design for my fictional railway company, the CNWR. In universe, they serve as a steam restoration group, however they've also been known to design their own locomotives for their railway. The engine serves as mixed-traffic, and is loosely based off the Talyllyn, although I tried to include many original elements. It mostly started as an experiment of sorts, to see what I could build with the left over pieces I had from a LEGO set I tore apart, but it inevitably grew into its own design. I'd say it's finished for now, I don't have any plans to add anything to it. The engine is a bright red, mostly due to the fact I had an abundance of bright red pieces left over after I tore apart my Hogwarts Express set.
