This loco is a waste of space.

No. its not an insult.
Just that the download size is 20.3mb

Since the cab leading and cab trailing locos use the same ace file you can almost half the size by puting them both into the same folder.

If you then load the ace files into TGAtools2 and save with compression the file size comes down the 6.16mb.

Quite a saving.

That sounds useful but how does it work in practice? Does it involve aliasing one file to the other in some way, or is it possible to put two .eng files into the same folder and for them both to work?

The model of 10800 dosn't look too bad (better than the 15&16 in my oppinion) but is suffering from having a silghtly forward sloping front, none spoked wheels, and opake(how do you spell that!) glass. I think if you fix those problems and bring out a version 1.1 you will have a reasonable model

May be able to progress with research rather better in 3 weeks' time, had the rather unpleasant news of impending redundancy yesterday. Not good news for paying the bills :( but will at least free up some time while looking for new job :)
