danny, as usual, marvelous job.
I would like to point my nit-picking finger at something my steam junkie friends at our Slovakian forum been discussing for some time.
shape of buffers.
apparently, buffers have specific shapes. one has got shape of mushroom, and the other one too, just inverted. they fit into each other, a bit like a joint into its socket. this is done for purpose of wear and also to protect buffers from damage in curved parts of the track.
have a look here:

on modern gear this is sorted with differently shaped rectangular buffers.
I don't mean to cause any headache or sleepless night to you. at this scale you could as well just leave it as it is...

If i may suggest Danny, the top quality locos are considered to be Angraf. I have had a look through a few of them, nearly half a thickness of a Bible. And beautyfully drawn. Mostly without any problems from what i heard.

Wait...
i need to correct a few points.:
1, Forum is not Czech, it is Slovak. .SK part of web address suggests that (not nitpicking at all...)
2, Brzdic (his name) is not only above your skill, he has a chair in Vallhala, Pantheon, Round table and at every other place of full of mythical skills.
3, yes, he is that good...
4, reason for some parts not fitting is according to him not only fairing, but most probably the fact that he laminated parts himself, on his own stock and did not account for thickness properly. it just shows, how precise Halinski is...
dont mean to hijack your post, but id like to show what i have been working yesterday. it is by no means a quality i could compare to yours, hell no. you are quickly becoming one of the most skillful paper modellers i have ever encountered.
if you dont mind, i present my attempt at Hms Victory lanterns. One of them so far. Took me a day and needs retouching if edges.
