Smokebox Front Idea - a photo on Flickriver

            Just something I came up with when playing around with ideas for different sized GWR locos. It could work particularly on a GWR Hall class in 7-wide scale. I don't currently have any plans for a hall beyond this.

My WIP Castle Class uses the cheese boiler with a 4x4 dish as the smokebox door, which reasonably matches the proportions of the real thing. In comparison, the Hall class has a noticeably smaller smokebox door at the same scale, despite the boiler overall not being that much smaller than the Castle. A cheese boiler would also work for a Hall at this scale.

I've seen people achieve a similar effect with the thin tire piece sandwiched between the 3x3 disc and main cheese smokebox. This is just a slightly different look.

Feel free to use if you think it'd suit your loco build.
