I have seen the drawings of one 1910 2-6-6-2 Baldwin logging Mallet with a cowcatcher on the back of the tender of all places. It looks totally stupid.
My reproduction concept for this particular Baldwin locomotive does away with the cowcatcher on the arse-end as shown. It also calls for a taller-than-original smokestack.
A taller smokestack is the beauty mark of any steam locomotive. Like a Victorian gentleman's top hat, they just look handsomer that way.
