Thanks for you comments.

I tend to agree with you regarding the 2-10-2s, they do look more like CNR engines than CPR engine and agree they look better without the skirts and showing off all that plumbing.

As for the Heavy Mountain and its skirts?   As the GER is supposedly owned by both the CPR and the CNR I wanted to show the influence of both roads on design so hence the skirts on the Heavy 4-8-2 as they are supposed to be the GER's premier steam freight engine.  I may re-detail my light mountains with skirts, all weather cabs with modified standard tenders to suit, as the premier steam passenger engines.  Perhaps with maroon skirts?  Not sure yet.

Cheers
