These drawings remind me of black and white illustrations in old children's books.Β They're excellent.Β Did you choose to draw in a particular illustrator/ artist's style or is it all your own?

Why thank you! Β The style is all my own, but I have read a lot of old children's books and they do have an effect on your drawing style.
Thanks again!

I really like your outside coupling rods, especially the way they're slightly bowed out towards the middle, so utterly 19th Century

Yes. Β Yes they do!
(Of course it doesn't help the fact that the 4-4-0 is one of my favorite wheel arrangements...)
