Well Matt, seen as you are doing the K as well as the D3, why not have a crack at a J-class. The only modifications you would need to make to the K would be German smoke deflectors, altered smokebox, altered cab and your done. This is only a suggestion. Keep up the good work 
Regards
Matthew Davis

There's a bit more to a J class than just that. The boiler is mounted higher on a J to make it suitable for gauge conversion.

1) the turbo's in the wrong spot (or is the shape a converted D3?)
2) you havn't added the whistle yet
3) you havn't got the reverser stuff above the running board
4) there isn't a muffler on the air comp.
5) there isn't a ladder yet.
thats all from what i can see at the moment. will you be making 163 in the current green livery? |

Yeah!
The D3 is nearly done! The loco itself is finished and I'm adding final detail to the tender. There'll be a happy surprise for people when it's released!
Cheers,
Matt
