This would be an interesting model to have, certainly unique.

It must be, all I get with that link is a blank, black screen.

Try it again, somehow the link was totally scrambled.
Thank you. It is not too bad, certainly not as ugly as most are.
Shows British influence.

Use a Weaver or Williams Brass pacific for the frame, Hand carve ,and or Machine a the shrouded body ( Hard green Pattern wax). Make an RTV high temp ,to mold it. Cast in urethane or pewter Alloyed for hardness. Add details. and repeat for the tender. Could be done., expensive.
The picture came thru for me, good looking.
YUCK...
Definitely resembles an A4 pacific.

While not 'cast'... it may fit on an Elegoo Jupiter resin printer ...where's Alan?
I still want my 3 rail scale SR-Q1!
Always fun to see something "new". This engine set the steam engine speed record at 126 mph but then was in the shop for major overhaul. Good Story follows: Mallard
Seems to me the Milwaukee Road Hiawatha Atlantics which ran at 110 consistently in passenger service could have reached that speed.
Looks like this engine was made for other scales including Hornby in OO.
David Argent scratch-built a model of it. Some info at this website: http://www.andrewgrantham.co.uk/iraq/tag/pc-class/
I'd like to have it in H O.

Cool find Joe, my photo came up in a wallpaper selection so I did a search using TinEye and found the photo I posted. I figured someone must have more info. 
Can't say that it's my favorite, but I do like it. The front view shown in the Iraqi Railways link above has a bit of the CNW E-4 Hudson in its proportions and striping from head-on.
According to a little internet searching and Wikipedia, this is an Iraqi State Railways Class PC built in 1941, one of four Pacifics erected by the company "Robert Stephenson and Hawthorns" of England, hence the English clear influence (although running gear is not fully covered, more along French lines).

It does have some styling attributes of the CNW Hudson. I guess I should dust this one again before it's next pictures.

That's a wild lookin' locomotive! It would be a fun project but I haven't worked out the methods for 3D printing shells just yet. It's on the to do list. Maybe someone else already has some methods and spare time!
Reminds me of the LMS Coronation Class

Interesting read. The British built 4 of these for Iraq, but only 3 arrived. The ship carrying the 4th one sunk in 1941. No mention of why, but you have to think U-boat attack. Now that would be a fascinating shipwreck (Train wreck?) to explore.

Wow, ….that is interesting!!….wonder if eBay ever paid out the claim on that engine?….come to think about it, I’ve never seen U-boat listed as a reason why a package wasn’t delivered on eBay……..😝

So I had someone translate this.
It means "#@$%!! Americans"
