For one, there aren't any diagonal views.

Well, the vertical views aren't bad, at least.

Focus more on drawing and less on getting your drawings coded. If your drawings are good people tend to offer to code, or atleast aren't so apprehensive about doing it. You've made marked improvement, but you still have to work on consistency between views, especially the / and \ views. My first drawings stunk, it was only through trial and error that I developed a dawing technique that works, and now I have a building coded, and a few project in the works.

Maley, practice doing diagonal views too! I know it's hard but if you try enough you will get the hang of it automaticaly.
It's not a problem if you failed to do it the first times, but you will get better if you do it enough.

why, i think it is really good and i have shaded the train to make it circular you probale can't see that because it is in a blue background which is almost simular to the blue on the engine

I'm going to be blunt.
Thats terrible. Did you follow the drawing tutorials at all? Stick with trying to learn with boxy engines, before you try a steamer.
All I can draw are EMU's, and I would rather perfect that before trying something new.
As is, that locomotive is unusable. LOOK at other graphics, READ the tutorials, or SOMETHING.

I'm sorry I had to be blunt, but... well, you just don't seem to get the message any other way.
Go practice drawing, compare your work to others, then when you know it's good, post it.

Okay, can we see a little more than the front view? And what is it ("a DMU" is not an adequate description, if you want us to tell you how it looks compared to the prototype)?

I'm sorry, but it
is not good. Seriously, either your eyes are completly buggered, or you're delluding yourself. You seriously need to practice a fecking load more than that.

Well, you cannot draw because you colored it wrong.
I think that's a Class 101, which the set already has, so there's no need to draw another one
And that steam engine is just plain horrible
Edit:

No it didn't, yours doesn't seem to have any shading, the colours are too bright and contrasting, and everything just looks wrong
