I've started working on another Danish steamer. This time it is the Litra A which was used from 1882 to 1956. At the beginning it was used on the main lines and in the later years on smaller local lines.
More information (in Danish) and pictures (click on the yellow boxes with black crosses in them) can be found on this webpage.

Some technical information:
Max speed: 100 km/h
Service weight: 32,6 tons
Boiler pressure: 10 kg/cm²
Length: 14,07 m
This one seems a little bit too 2D-ish... even your previous model tended to have a similar problem, but here it's more evident. TTD trains are seen slightly from above, so you'd better give them a little bit of "depth" to make them look really good. In this case, what you drew is what one would see standing at the same height of the engine, which is not what we want in TTD.
I would start by lowering the domes and the chimney, and give more depth to the front part of the chassis and to the roof of the cab.
Again, I can't help feeling the supporting wheels of the front bogie are way too big. If you look at the drawing in the website you provided, their diameter is not even half the diameter of the driving wheels. In your model, they are a bit out of proportion.
Also, why are the rear driving wheels smaller than the front ones? This engine is a 2-2-0, while your models gives more the idea of a 2-1-1.
Also, it could really use some additional shading and detailing... There are many fun details you might try and add, like the piston, the bell-shaped front part of the boiler, the shape of the cab, some conducts on the boiler...
Hope this helps, keep up your efforts!
